[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Minimum wage doesnt count for positions like this. It’s considered a stipend not a living wage. I think the hours are somewhat normal. My kid did sleep away camp and the cabin counselors are on duty from when they woke up until they went to bed. [/quote] you missed the point that he is being asked to work a full day as a maintenance worker (think hard labor, landscaping, cleaning bathrooms, etc.) and then being asked to work a second evening shift providing oversight camp counseling to children. this situation is unusual, suspect, and exploitative. I was a camp counselor and the all day job included lots of down time where the kids are doing activities, taking naps, writing letters, having meals. Yes, you're always there providing oversight but you're not painting and scrubbing and cutting grass. [/quote]
