For anyone who is going to be a counselor. This is a message from a used to be little at a camp. Kids (at least every cabin I was in) LOVED their counseler so much. We would always fight to sit next to her, hold her hand, and stuff like that. So don’t be shy about hanging out with your campers. I’m telling you the better relationship you have with them the more fun it will be for everybody

i have been vigorously watching camp counselor videos for the last month, i was just hired as a cabin leader for this summer! you're by far my favorite camp youtuber. your energy >>>. hope i meet people like you!!:)

this was super helpful! My church has a camp for all of the young woman and its for like a week and this gave me some super great ideas on what to bring!!

Love this and all your camp videos!!! This upcoming summer will be my second summer working at a camp and I can NEVER stop talking about how amazing camp is! your videos just get me hyped for my summer/ spring at camp!!!

Fun!!! It is SO cool that you get to be a camp counselor again!

This is SO cool Micah!! I love all of your camp videos so much! I love going to camp and yes! It is so true to bring your silliest clothing items! This was so helpful and I hope you are doing well!

I love that you posted this! I'm getting first official camp email soon and I'm so excited!

I was a camper for 6 years and this year is my first year being a Junior Counselor. I have been so excited and learning about what stuff other counselors bring has been very helpful. Another thing about my camp is that we will have 3 years worth of new campers so it should be fun getting to help out! Thank you so much for this video! Keep doing what you do best!!

I worked at a special needs summer camp for 3 summers (2017-2019). I was a counselor for the first two summers, and leadership staff for my 3rd! Being international staff, I haven't been able to get back due to covid, so watching videos like this is a fab way to think about camp!! Camp has literally changed my life 🙌🏻🏕

This summer I'm being a camp counselor for a Christian camp, and I have been to a bunch of different camps throughout my life, but have never been a counselor. I am REALLY not sure how this is going to go, but I think as long as I remember what I'm doing and I'm cautious about my actions, and I try to be fun then it'll all work out. This video helped, and I would've never thought to being decorations, but I have purple fairy lights in the supports of my bunk bed at my house and think it would be really fun to bring those and use them in my cabin. I really appreciate this video, thanks and much love!👍❤✌🌼

my first (and a half) year on staff, i find a lot of camp shirts and hoodies are often the best to bring- they're already camp certified and usually super cute and comfortable!! and one thing i LOVE is i crochet so i can make garland and fun things for the kids!!

this will be my 3rd year on staff at my summer camp and I went for about 4 years as a camper and I LOVE IT! I love watching your videos and seeing someone who shares the same love as me! on the off year throughout school I love watching your old camp videos to help me get through the year!

I just got my first pair of chacos in perfect condition from plato’s closet and I love them, although they are a bit hard (but maybe they just need to be worn in more). But I have to say that I definitely recommend the sketchers water sandals! They are extremely comfortable and a great price. So if anyone is looking for a little more affordable option, look for sketchers ones!

This came just in time! I’m so excited to be an assistant camp counselor at my Bible camp.

I'm getting super excited for my 2nd summer as a counselor. Your videos helped me prepare last year! 🌟
