We know firsthand the difficult task of being camp counselors — someone who serves as an amazing mentor, big sibling, facilitator, manager, and all-around go-to person for a group of young people. A recent post by Anne Archer Yetsko, associate director of Camp Merri-Mac in Black Mountain, North Carolina recognizes how great these counselors are and how important their skill set is as they pursue jobs in other venues. Snippets are below, with the whole piece at this link.
