Adventure Camp Counselor Profile
April 12th, 2011
Position: Senior Counselor
Profile: A senior counselor can often be picked out in a crowd. The counselor is predisposed to loud cheering, singing, table banging and general yelling. They also tend to have a fantastic sense of humor, often looking on the bright side. The insatiable appetite for fun of a senior counselor is only challenged by that of a camper. In the summer our counselors are typically: sitting in the front row of a rollercoaster at Hersheypark, triumphantly raising their paddle in the air while rafting down the Youghiogheny River, Singing at the top of their lungs at a campfire, defending home base in capture the flag, evading an onslaught of dodge balls in end zone, climbing atop a high ropes element at a challenge course, careening down the slip ‘n slide, and thrusting themselves to the forefront of any number of fun camp activities. Adventure camp is a unique two week experience where we hope that each and every camper has the time of their lives and who better to take campers on this journey than our counselors?
