The Camper Is Not Always Right
Camp | Louisiana, USA | Family & Kids
(It is the last day of camp, and the campers are even more unruly than usual. They have spent the last 30 minutes putting foam stickers everywhere, and I do mean everywhere.)
Me: “Okay, guys and gals! Your parents will be here to pick you up soon, so let’s clean up a bit and get these stickers off the floor.”
Camper: *eye roll* “I don’t understand why we have to pick this up. This is camp!”
Me: “Well, the other counselors and I didn’t put stickers all over the floor. Do you expect us to pick this up?”
Camper: “Yes! This is camp! We’re not at home, we’re at camp! We shouldn’t have to clean up after ourselves! That’s YOUR job!”
Me: *jawdrop*
