A Day in the Life of a Robindel Counselor
| Time | Activity |
|---|---|
| 8:00am | Reveille (morning bugle) rings to wake up the campers. Sometimes they need some help waking up, which is why counselors are up and ready before the bugle! |
| 8:30am | Breakfast. Meals are served family style with counselors at the heads of the tables to help. |
| 9:00am | Clean Up. Counselors, Bunk Uncles and Bunk Aunts all join in to help campers with their daily clean-up jobs. Of course, your own area needs to be cleaned as well. |
| 9:30am | Activity bugle. Time to go to your department area! |
| 9:40am-10:30am | 1st Activity |
| 10:40am-11:30am | 2nd Activity |
| 11:40am-12:30pm | 3rd Activity |
| 12:30pm | Head back to your cabin. Check in with your campers and co-counselors before heading to lunch. |
| 12:45pm | Lunch |
| 1:15pm-2:20pm | Rest Hour. This is a great time to hang out, talk and play with your campers in the cabin. (If you are on duty at night, you have rest hour off.) |
| 2:30pm-3:20pm | 4th Activity |
| 3:30pm-4:20pm | 5th Activity |
| 4:30pm-5:20pm | 6th Activity |
| 5:20pm-6:00pm | Shower Hour. Head back to your cabin to supervise campers and make sure that they are getting showered before dinner. |
| 6:00pm | Dinner (If you are off-duty, it begins when the dinner bugle rings. Of course, you are always welcome to spend your time off at camp!) |
| 6:30pm-7:15pm | A relaxed time at camp and a great time to play ga-ga, swing or just chat with campers. |
| 7:15pm | Evening Activity. We may ask you to help lead some evening activities throughout the summer. We love new ideas too, so if you have any let us know! |
| 8:00pm | Snack time at the Lodge. Listen for announcements! |
| 9:00pm | Bed times differ based on the age group. All campers need to be in their own cabin 30 minutes before lights out. |
Evenings are a great time to reflect on the day with your campers.
This is the time that you will be reminded sleepaway camp is like a 7-week slumber party.
