[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never heard of camp counsellors who only work 8 hours and are off the other 16. If they changed what they hired him to do, then that is the issue but most camp counsellors work the camp sessions. I haven’t heard of any that have three full and separate shifts of counsellors.  And that includes non religious camps. [/quote]

I know lots of people working at summer camps. While many work more than 40 hours per week, they certainly all have off-duty hours each day. I'm not sure what sort of camps you're dealing with, but that sounds very, very strange.[/quote]

And I am not sure what sort of camps you are dealing with! My teens all worked at camps for multiple summers and they seemed like pretty standard camps. Yours were much richer ones than mine if they have 3 full sets of everyone. Where do they keep them all to have three full rotating shifts? They would have two full rotations of everyone off at any given time. That is a lot of extra dorms and places to be while the other shifts are working. I would think the camp Counsellors would get bored being at camp with nothing to do for 16 hours a day.

Your teens were working at strange camps if they maintained the same active staffing level 24/7.[/quote]

+1. Maybe some of the religious ones are very low cost, but I’ve never seen a camp that has staff working 16 hours a day.  That’s unsafe over a period of weeks. [/quote]
