Yesterday we posted the second in our 5 Questions series. We talked to camp director Beth Allison about the sort of answers you should hear when you ask a director about her counsellors.
We are pleased to also offer you some insight from another director. Dan Weir, from the Frost Valley YMCA in upstate New York, sent us another list of 5 Questions.
Now you can go armed with 10 Questions to Ask a Camp Director about Her/His Counsellors.
Dan’s list:
1. Whats your staff retention rate?
2. How long/what do you cover during staff training?
3. How long have you (director) been in camping?
4. Would you have your children underneath their care?
5. What’s your policy on drugs and alcohol with your staff?
** We are pleased to announce that Dan will be joining us for the brand new podcast that Our Kids will be releasing in the new year. This “audio magazine” will be aimed directly at professional camp directors and their year-round staff.
Excellent questions, thanks for posting! May I add one? How do the counselors handle and administer prescription medicines?
