| Abstract: |
The article focuses on insights from Bob Ditter, a child and adolescent therapist with extensive experience in camps, who offers practical advice for camp counselors. He emphasizes that counselors should prioritize building genuine connections with campers by understanding their interests and emotions, rather than relying on authority to gain compliance. Ditter highlights the importance of counselors being playful yet respectful, supporting their team as leaders rather than simply being "in charge," and managing stress through reflection and seeking support. He also explains the value of pocket guides as quick-reference tools to help counselors respond effectively in challenging situations. [Extracted from the article] |
