You may not like them, you may not counsel like them, but that doesn’t mean they suck.

It can happen to even the most First Class Counselor. For reasons that may seem perfectly valid and logical, a staff member gets it in their head that one of their co-workers is a terrible staff member. What ensues is drama, hurt feelings and escalations that can take away from the camp experience for others.

In this episode, we’re not talking about the staff members who break policy or in a legal sense deserve to be fired. 

Frankly, you aren’t going to like everyone - let’s get real. But you have to a) respect them as a fellow staff member and b) remember that it’s not about that “like” - it’s about the camper experience.

So join us this episode as we unpack:

• What does it actually mean to be a good staff member, and is it even your place to judge others?
• Different traits of camp counselors that you may struggle with, and why that is
• What to do about it. How to move forward in a way that is fair to everyone involved
