University of Wisconsin - Green Bay Summer Camps

Counselors provide direct supervision of student campers who are enrolled in the UWGB Summer Camp program. All Counselors play a vital role in developing a positive, safe, and enriching camp experience for every camper. There may be times when the supervision of minors can be challenging; for example, there may be incidents that occur requiring the Counselor to work with a homesick or belligerent camper, talk with camper parents, be on the lookout for potentially harmful behaviors and situations, provide clear and concise information regarding campus safety, etc. Campers receive the bulk of their information about activities, rules, conduct, and social skills from their Counselors.

Counselors are also the primary link between the campers and the Head Counselors. The Counselors look for support and guidance for their responsibilities by sharing thoughts, ideas and challenges with each other, the Head Counseling staff, and the Camp Coordinator.
