How does a Bunk Specialist differ from an Activity Specialist?
Camp Starlight’s camp counselor staff is made up of Bunk Specialists and Activity Specialists who share one key component of their daily responsibilities – they all live and work in a bunk with their own campers. Bunk Specialists follow their campers from activity to activity everyday. They are still relied upon for leadership and/or instruction at these activities, but their first responsibility is to insure their campers’ well-being and participation in the daily camp program. An Activity Specialist works most of the activity day in one particular camp program area, instructing campers of all ages and various skill levels in their area of expertise. Each age group is managed by a Head Counselor, Division Leader, and Assistant Division Leader. These individuals serve as resources for our camp counselors. As seasoned camp veterans, often with several years of experience, they have amazing abilities, skills, insights, and knowledge to share. Many of them are educators in the off-season.
