I have spent quite a few summers living in the woods being a baller... aka a camp counselor and well they were some of the times of my life. SO I got a little bored and decided to look up some of the essentials of being a camp counselor in case any of you were considering the greatest profession in the world out there.First lets start off with your outfit. A perfect tshirt to wear EVERYDAY is a Hanes White V-Neck tee much like this:
they can be purchased
at places like Wal-Mart and Target in a multi-packNow lets talk about
the perfect sports bra... this is crucial because its hot and gross
outside all day
.
perfection. Now let's talk about your bottom. Shorts are essentially and these Nike Tempo Shorts are the best:
they even have built in underwear!
It
is also completely appropriate to wear a Greek tshirt if you run out of
v-necks because lets get serious what other kind of tees do you own...
right MOH?
so many choices its hard to choose.
Camp
appropriate footwear is hard to come by if you are not wearing Chacos
on your feet and this pair is just SOOOO darn cute, I tots wish these
had been out when I bought my Chacos.
Staying hydrated is an absolute must during the hot, summer, sun so a cute water bottle like this Nalgene is essential:
It is
also essential to have something durable to tote your stuff around in
all day but isn't too cumbersome. I have been using North Face's Roo for
years but the Roo II is also worth checking out!!!!
I hope y'all are catching the drift that I LOVE LOVE LOVE the color pink no matter what I am doing.And no
matter how dorky it may seem a good headlamp is essential if you want to
see where you are going in the dark. And trust me you will want some
light on those long night hikes to your cabin or you will have nasty
scars like I do from falling over stumps and rocks.
Last
but not least you will need a smile but that should be no problem to
produce because you WILL be having the time of your life if camp
counseloring is your thing:

Protecting
yourself from the sun is a must so awesome shades are must!!! Big,
bold, and ridiculous sunglasses always worked well for me. I was a
particular fan of this style but some of my coworkers opted for the
Aviator style of sunglasses because they felt more bad ass that way.
Your pick.
As
a counselor you will have to always be on time, which is why you will
need a bad ass water proof watch. Preferably digital because you WILL
become soooo exhausted that it is impossible to tell time any other way.
A cute one like this would be perfect!
