General Counselor
General Counselors are the heart of the Brant Lake experience for our campers. Counselors have three main responsibilities:
1. Their first responsibility is to the boys in their bunk.
2. Secondly, to the boys in their division (Juniors, Inters or Seniors).
3. Thirdly, but still importantly, to the activity in which he or she can best be helpful to our campers and daily program.
While General Counselors might have special skills in a particular area, very few of our counselors will teach the same activity for more than half of their day. This helps keep counselors fresh in their areas of expertise and allows them to focus on the individual needs of their campers: spending time with them throughout the day and playing the role of “big brother” or “big sister.”
