The philosophy
of Camp Carolina centers around simplicity of life, importance of
self-reliance, value of human relations, wonders of nature, respect for
property and resources, and the challenge of high adventure.
Our purpose is to make a boy’s summer a valuable factor in his complete
development. This can be accomplished through recruiting the right staff
who have plenty of
enthusiasm, determination and strong moral values. We need counselors who
can rise to the challenge of ‘PUTTING THE KIDS FIRST!’ The counselor's
task is to be a warm friend, a willing guide and a director of positive
energies. Your example as a counselor will be the primary influence on the
camper whether Right or Wrong , Good or Bad.
Our goals are to promote self-confidence and develop character, to create
community living skills, independence, lasting friendships and competency
and sportsmanship. We achieve this by providing campers with challenging
experiences, adventure and on-going social interaction in a safe camp
community.
We have a commitment to parents for their sons, physical & emotional
development,
welfare and safety.
We achieve this by offering qualified staff and ensuring safe facilities .
Each staff member plays an active role in camp administration by
understanding his/her responsibilities and demonstrating respect for all.
This ensures the maximum experience for campers.
Successful counselors are open to
suggestions while striving for a common goal.
At Carolina the most important job and the
principle responsibility of a camp counselor is to be a good role model. A
cabin counselor’s job is ineffective if his influence is passive. He is
detrimental if his influence is negative.
Ask yourself , ‘Do I have the patience and unselfishness to give and keep
giving my time and personality to young boys?’
‘Send not your foolish and feeble, send me your strong and your sane.’
- Robert Service,
The Law of the Yukon.
It is our hope at Camp Carolina that the strong and the sane have been
sent to become counselors. The staff has been
chosen with this in mind: a good
counselor is someone who possesses a mind and spirit which are prevalent
over his physical prowess.
