Every summer thousands of camp staff have the unique opportunity to make a contribution to the life of a child…in fact, in the growth and development of many children. Counselors’ Contribution to the Camp Community provides an overview of that unique role. The DVD offers special ideas for each age group and details the key factors involved in being a role model in an outdoor environment.
