Yeaaah same, I was really excited for my first year and I was looking forward to the whole experience, I really hope it doesn't get canceleddd, aghh but you aren't alone!
Chels Badger thank you! Means a lot. As of right now we are still having it, but CDC is making regulations towards summer camp, so that’s good that they are taking us into consideration
Little Artsy we gotta keep pushing and hoping for the best. I’m sorry you are in the same position, let’s have an online camp if it does get cancled haha.
highly relate to the staff casio watches chiming together during orientation week! love hearing about everyones different camp experiences so loved the video!
Crazy Creeks are from my hometown in Montana so I always get super excited whenever I hear anyone else mention them. They are amazing and an absolute camp essential!
I go to a church camp and we HAVE to bring a change of clothes with us to the showers lol. I forgot pants once and had to have a very uncomfortable conversation without pants on because I got stopped right outside my cabin. 😂 My excuse was that I had gray shorts on and I sat in water so I had the towel to make me feel less awkward. haha
Thank you I am a camper but with this video I will have everything I need I'm really excited bc it is my first time at a over night camp I owe you one Edit: yes I know it is only January but Amazon takes some time to come to my house ;-;
*Kawaii baked Pride potato* same I’m a first time camper too and people keep telling me it’s to early for me to start watching these but ;-; yea Wanna be friends 🤣 also what camp do you go to? I’m going to camp stomping ground
OMG I just found this video because I'm deciding what to pack for my first summer at working at camp and I saw your shirt, I'm working at camp echo lake this year!!
I know this is an old video but I have been bingeing your videos and honestly THANK YOU! Your videos have inspired me to apply for Camp Echo Lake for next summer!!
I can definitely confirm on the eye mask. I’m a counselor for the youngest group of kiddos that our camp allows and i can almost guarantee that one of them will want a night light.
lauren chapman Hey it’s the Summit Water Bottle- 32oz from www.simplemodern.com/products/summit-water-bottle-with-straw-lid-32oz?variant=28247659249736 !! It’s basically a hydro flask just a lot more affordable and comes in cuter colours and patterns 💞🌹
XJack McMahonX Hi Jack! Camp accommodation will be different depending on what camp you are going too :) You can usually find out what it is like by visiting the website for the the camp you are going too!!
First time counsellor here: I’m wondering how you used your UE speaker so often when you’re not allowed your phone? Would love to play music in the bunks!
I used my UE speaker the most of our days off :) And since we weren't allowed to have our phones on us at camp or in the bunks we just connected the speaker to an old school ipod/nano x
Constantly watching camp counselor videos because this is my first year as a real CIT! And I have been think about a lot Of camp names I have narrowed it down to two but I’m not sure which one to go with and I am a little nervous speaking out I am also a really shy person and I don’t know what to bring to a Christian camp what would you recommend I have been going to this camp for my whole life but not as a cit last year I. Was an aid to them and I liked it and I can’t wait to be a cit this year
If you wear a towel from the bathhouse are you at a girls only camp? I would assume you take your clothes to the shower and change there. Also that bug spray is one of the absolute best things invented!
The girls and boys section at camp are seperate and they have separate shower houses. The kids get undressed in the cabin, wrap their towel around themselves (most have the Velcro towels or bath robes) and then we walk together to the shower house which is about a 1 minute walk from the cabins. Everyone on camp does this. After they have showered, they put their towels or bath robes back on and we walk together back to the cabin where they get changed. This is common for most camps x
I go to summer camp it’s so fun! Also we have like teams and one is yellow and green and the other is blue and yellow comment on this wich team you would want to be on :)
I’m bingeing on camp videos. This year was supposed to be my first year as a counselor... but due to the covid that might not happen sadly. :(
HeyItsTay We all have our fingers crossed right now! All we can do is be positive and make sure we’re all making wise decisions! xx
Yeaaah same, I was really excited for my first year and I was looking forward to the whole experience, I really hope it doesn't get canceleddd, aghh but you aren't alone!
Little Artsy positive vibes only xx

Raeanne Decker naww this is so cute!!
Chels Badger thanks also I have a question does your camp send you a list of stuff you may need?
Raeanne Decker Yes most camps will send you a packing list to help you pack! If they don’t, you could always email them and request one ☺️
OMG I just found this video because I'm deciding what to pack for my first summer at working at camp and I saw your shirt, I'm working at camp echo lake this year!!

lauren chapman Hey it’s the Summit Water Bottle- 32oz from www.simplemodern.com/products/summit-water-bottle-with-straw-lid-32oz?variant=28247659249736 !! It’s basically a hydro flask just a lot more affordable and comes in cuter colours and patterns 💞🌹
@@ChelsBadger amazing thank you!!
Hi, what was camp accommodation like? I’m hoping to go to camp for the first time this year 😊
XJack McMahonX Hi Jack! Camp accommodation will be different depending on what camp you are going too :) You can usually find out what it is like by visiting the website for the the camp you are going too!!
@@ChelsBadger How much money does the camp pay you at the end if you don't mind sharing?
Which camp you went to?
My camp sells crazy creeks with the camp logo on them
That’s cool :)
My friend gos to echo lake her name is Simone and she was 8 last year
Cute!
COFFEEE MUGGGGGGG
India Whitty YES OMG! I can’t believe I forgot about the coffee mug - such an important item too 😂 It’s in the packing list blog though!
@@ChelsBadger is there coffee for staff at echo lake during breakfast etc??
Harry Hamilton yes there is! Plenty of coffee!!
Chels Badger I want coffee now
Hi chels! Have you ever been to a Canada summer camp? I'm thinking about going there as a counselor and I don't know anyone who has been there :)
I haven't but I have a few friends who have!
First time counsellor here: I’m wondering how you used your UE speaker so often when you’re not allowed your phone? Would love to play music in the bunks!
I used my UE speaker the most of our days off :) And since we weren't allowed to have our phones on us at camp or in the bunks we just connected the speaker to an old school ipod/nano x
Constantly watching camp counselor videos because this is my first year as a real CIT! And I have been think about a lot
Of camp names I have narrowed it down to two but I’m not sure which one to go with and I am a little nervous speaking out I am also a really shy person and I don’t know what to bring to a Christian camp what would you recommend I have been going to this camp for my whole life but not as a cit last year I. Was an aid to them and I liked it and I can’t wait to be a cit this year
There's nothing wrong with being shy :) Best advice - do your research into a few camps!
@@ChelsBadger alrighty thank you :)) I’ve been watching tips on TH-cam on what to do and not do as a cit
Where is your water bottle from??
Simple modern!
Chels Badger thanks
Can I ask why do you not have your phone with you?
Because Camp Echo Lake is a Tech Free Camp! Our highest priority is the campers, not checking our phones x
I have the same laundry bag lol
COOL!
If you wear a towel from the bathhouse are you at a girls only camp? I would assume you take your clothes to the shower and change there. Also that bug spray is one of the absolute best things invented!
Nope it’s a co-Ed camp. The kids got changed in the cabins x
@@ChelsBadger Ok, just seems odd you would have half naked campers walking between buildings at a co-Ed camp. Unless I misunderstood that
The girls and boys section at camp are seperate and they have separate shower houses. The kids get undressed in the cabin, wrap their towel around themselves (most have the Velcro towels or bath robes) and then we walk together to the shower house which is about a 1 minute walk from the cabins. Everyone on camp does this. After they have showered, they put their towels or bath robes back on and we walk together back to the cabin where they get changed. This is common for most camps x
Wait is Walmart in Australia???
Nope! I got some of these in the US :)
Do kids get a list of essentials?
Yes and a packing list!
how old are you? im hoping to be a camp counselor when im 19 (im 16 rn) is 19 too young ??
Pretty sure the youngest you can be is 18 idk tho and I’m 16 aswell 😂
Depending on which camp you want to work at. The camp that I'm hoping to work at next year allows for full time staffing at 15
I was 20 the first time and 24 the second time!
Are you alone when on duty on the porch?
sometimes yes sometimes no
Are we aloud to have our phones?
The campers don't have their phones for the summer!
Hi
Hi!
Incredible
Thank you!
I go to summer camp it’s so fun! Also we have like teams and one is yellow and green and the other is blue and yellow comment on this wich team you would want to be on :)
So cool!
From 1-10 how fun is ur camp?
do u work at echo lake because im going this year and are u coming back :)))
Yes I do and because of the pandemic - i am not able to get to the USA to work this year.
Not " head torches " head lights or flash lights
They’re all the same thing and you know what I mean x
What brand and size is your water bottle? :)
The brand is called Simple Modern and Its 32 oz
crocs are banned at my camp lol im not sure why
that's sad :(
