What kind of camp will I be working at?

　　The majority of placements are in traditional camps, which could be coed or have only female or male campers. All-girls and all-boys camps will usually have both male and female counselors(顾问), and often a brother or sister camp nearby.

　　Depending on your preferences and skills, you could also work at a specialty camp, special needs camp, or camp for disadvantaged youth. You should be as open-minded about your camp as possible.

　　Will I get paid?

　　Yes. The amount of pocket money you earn varies based on your age, qualifications, and the type of camp you work at. It will probably be between $750-$1,200.If you are returning to your camp from last year or secure your own placement, you will negotiate your salary directly with the camp.

18 years old $800-$850 19-20 years old $900-$1,000 21+years old $1,000-$1,100 　　You will earn an additional $100 if you are lifeguard certified.

　　You will earn an additional $100 if you work at a special needs camp.

　　Counsellors who are hired as senior staff sometimes receive additional pocket money at the discretion(决定) of the camp.

　　What skills and/or experience do I need to have?

　　The most important skills are that you're great with kids, lots of fun, and up to the challenge. You should have experience in working with children, but it doesn't need to be formal teaching experience. You should also have a specialised skill that you can teach, because most counsellors are hired as activity instructors.
