Thanks for the season, friends! Let’s recap and set some goals for whenever your next summer at camp will be.
Welcome to the season finale of season 2 of First Class Counsellors!
At the end of every summer, it’s important that you, as a counselor take some time to reflect on the many lessons that you learned from the summer.
It’s equally important to think about those lessons in the context of whatever is next.
That was the plan for this episode. We wanted to reflect on our entire season of episodes and think about what stood out as some important lessons or trends as we talked.
Then we planned on using those lessons and trends to help you set goals for the summer of 2020 at camp.
Then - COVID happened. Both Oliver and Matt’s camp communities have been directed to close overnight programs for the summer.
So, as any First Class Counselor would, they adapted and thought about goals that would apply in 2020 whether or not camp was running in 2020 and then how to think ahead to 2021.
Tune in to this episode to hear about:

Goals for 2020 and 2021
2020 - If camp is open
Matt: If camp is open, be the best team-player. Camp is going to look different this summer, but it’s your job to have the most fun, ever in the process.
Oliver: You are front-line safety supervisors. You have an incredible amount of responsibility to keep kids safe while still bringing the camp spirit. Treat that responsibility seriously. We thank you for this role you are taking on.
2020 - If camp is closed
Matt and Oliver: Treat this summer as a sabbatical. Work hard to grow your skills and learn more so you can come back without missing a step in 2021.
2021
Matt and Oliver: Come back. Do everything you can to not lose that camp spirit and come back in 2021. Camp, and the kids, will need you.
