camp counselor...?

YaoiQueen3

Have you ever been a camp counselor for little kids? If so, did you sleep in cabins or tents? and what were the activities and stuff that you did? also does anyone know any sites about any camps and being a camp counselor?
TY!

Answer
this summer will be my 3rd summer as a camp counselor at a girl scout camp. We have girls from 6 to 17, mostly the 8-13 age though. However I really like the youngest kids and send most of my summer with them. We sleep in our own tent or cabin with the girls in the unit, during the week and have a staff house for the weekends. We have scheduals for the day that include swimming, arts and crafts, boating, hiking, we cook one meal out a week most weeks, and we do badge work along with other things that that girls might want to do.
there is a site called www.summercamps.com, or www.mysummers.com also www.acacamps.org is a really good website to find accredited camps. you can also look through girl scout council websites for camps and i am sure the same for boy scouts. hope this helps.

Cheap/Good Camping tent/items?

ariesalway

Family of four. Little ones are 5 and almost 3. We went last year camping once and loved it - Used borrowed items. We are looking to buy our own tent and things this year..But cant spend alot of money but want something that wont be crap.
Walmart? Target?

Answer
Wal-mart has some good deals on camping gear and won't cost alot either. I have been buying what i need a little at a time. One good idea for you is to get a plastic storage box to put your cooking gear in it so you won't have to get anything from the house.They also make good containers for putting the kids toys in. And also your camping gear so everything will be packed and ready to go camping the next time you want to.

Is this camping tent (description below) large enough for 2 people and 2 dogs?

J

My fiance and I want to take the dogs hiking this summer. He is 5'11" and 230-lbs, I am 5'3" and 155-lbs, we have a 34-lb adult Beagle, and a Bloodhound puppy who is currently 16-lbs BUT she could get as big as 100-lbs.

The tent is 9-feet wide X 4.3-feet High X 7-feet deep. It has pockets for side storage. It is only $44 on Ebay, which is a great deal.

Does anyone with camping experience think this will be a good size for us? Thank you.

Answer
Sorry, but any tent you can get on Ebay for $44 is NOT a "good deal". A tent at that price for that size is going to be substandard design and materials. It will most likely leak in rainy conditions and not be sturdy enough to withstand the rambunctious activity of a large puppy. In fact, some cheapo tents will collapse even in moderate use. If you are seriously planning to do this, spend a little more and get a good brand of tent. i would recommend getting a model that has a seperate vestibule at the entrance, kind of like a porch that has a rain fly over it but no floor and let the dogs stay out there. Dogs in a tent is a bad news situation. Their claws tend to damage the floor and they stink the place up with their breath and damp fur. They will be plenty cozy in a good vestibule and you can attach their leashes to ground pegs to keep them from wandering but still allow them to slip out and pee without having to get up and walk them.

Campmor.com has a huge variety of quality tents at all budget levels. Look at what they have and spend at least closer to $100 for a tent that will keep you dry and hold up to use.
