I have had a few interesting co-counselors.
One was a Russian model and refused to get out of bed before 7.20 despite the fact that I would be getting up and 6.30 to prepare for the day and get the kids up at 7. We had to walk the kids to the bathroom at night because there was a cougar on camp ground but she refused to get up in the middle of the night so I was up several times a night doing this and sometimes looking after homesick campers. They all ended up disliking her and only coming to me anyway. She was very very lazy and dirt was not something she allowed near her!
Another time I had just had to go and have an ingrown toenail dug out and was totally drugged up and in pain and my co allowed the girls to have all their wet towels in the cabin. She then hid under a sheet and got the girls to call me in and ask me if I liked her. Luckily I twigged what was going on after spying the quivering sheet in the corner. Later she rigged up ropes in the cabina dn hung a doll by its neck in the entrance and called it her voodoo doll. I had a couple of rather scared younger campers on my hands that day. It was a bit of a mixed age group with some 11-12 year olds and some 14-15 year olds due to a mess up of programs. I celled my CD and she came and sorted things out and the girl was fired. I didn't deal with it in the best way and I could have stopped things before they got as far as they did if I had been totally on form but I really wasn't that week.
