Counselors supervise campers during all times that they are not at a camp activity, and also provide a secondary supportive role during activity times, assisting Camp John Marc staff. Counselors are supported by a nurse who is assigned to their cabin, and generally by a nursing student as well as the camp doctor. No prior medical experience is required of counselors. The TLC volunteer staff generally includes on site and experienced camp director, two assistant camp directors, a child life specialist, a physical therapist and an occupational therapist as additional support for the cabin counselor.<\/p><p>If you are a person in good health who likes kids and isn\u2019t afraid of hard work, this may be the most rewarding week you have ever experienced.
