27 things only a camp counselor will understand
You know that you’re only making like a dollar an hour, but haters gonna hate, you’ve got the best job in the world. People on the outside just don’t understand what it means to spend your summer in the camp wild.I hope you don’t click on this link in a library, because I promise you will laugh.

How is a petition to improve education's way of handling definitions of sexual assault and consent, and providing information on resources for victims still 88,000 signatures short?
I’m done being polite and saying “Please signal boost.” I’m pissed off that trolling petitions can get more signatures in the same amount of time than a petition to help fight RAPE CULTURE.
Society is being full of bullshit. Signal boost this. Enough is enough.

Q: This blog is fantastic. I laughed at every one of those posts! Keep em' coming! PS- Did you work at a girl scout camp, because some of these are exactly the same as the camp I work at!
A:
I do! I try not to be overly specific with what type camp I’m at, but some things are very Girl Scout-y despite that. XD

A couple of notions
- I know the summer camp season has started off when I go try and scrub the dirt off my leg in the shower… and realize it’s actually bruises
- Anything another staff tells the campers about you is true. You’ll be a professional marshmellow roaster during the school year, and you’ll like it!

Would you prefer images, or are plain text versions of Camp Counselor Moments submissions ok?
I have been using a combination of the two since trying to start up again, but as weird as it sounds, it is a bit hard to find time to make the images sometimes since it’s final papers season for grad school and job hunting has begun and camp is coming up soon. If I remember correctly, I have images as an option for submissions if you would like to make your own, and I no longer keep track of entry numbers. Since this is the case, what do you all prefer?

When you have to act like the last week of camp is the first week of camp for the campers.
Rose: That week always makes me so sad!

End Sexual Assault Through Education | We the People: Your Voice in Our Government
Since the petition to make consent a mandatory topic in sex ed failed to meet the White House threshold, a new petition requesting improvement on education regarding sexual assault has been made.
This petition requests schools clearly teach about laws regarding rape, what consent is and is not, and what resources victims can use for recovery. Better education means less victim blaming, more help for victims, and less rape to begin with since myths regarding what consent is will be deconstructed in education.
If you are a US citizen 13 years or older, please sign this petition and signal boost. If not, please signal boost to help get the word out. Tag with anything you thing will help get the word out as well! Let’s make this petition go through!
Once again, not camp related, but still important.

Near the end of the summer you start worrying about how you’ll function in the real world.
