CAMP! Camp is one of the best things about summer. For counselors, it's an experience as well. Here are 13 experiences all camp counselors can relate to.
1. Kids say the darndest things
Kids will say lots of silly things. Some things you can't even make it out what thy are talking about.
2. Coworkers become friends
Camp coworkers understand camp. You all have stories and inside jokes about the other campers.

The campers feel that they can trust you and tell you anything. Even some things you never thought you would hear out of a 10-year-old's mouths.
4. You can go back to being a kid
Playgrounds, tag, swimming and more. Being a kid is a good time.

8. You can tan
Outside in the sun for 7 straight hours, tan time is a great time!
