Should you spend your own money on camp stuff? No. Well…sometimes…well…okay, just listen to this episode!This one has been a bee in our bonnet for a long time. Camp counselors make so little money, but often spend so much of it on things they use at camp and we’re here to stand on our soapbox and say NO MORE!
Granted, there are some times to invest in gear, games or self-care, but at the end of the day you should never have to spend big bucks to be a First Class Counselor!
Tune in to this episode to learn about:
- How does pay work in the summer camp world and why is it generally so low?
- What are some of the benefits of working at camp beyond the pay?
- What should you NOT spend your hard-earned pay on? When may it be okay?
- Hear about Matt and Oliver’s most shameful camp purchases so you don’t have to make their mistake!
