This book explores the complexities of the recreational summer camp
experience and its reliance on the expertise and emotion work of
young people. Drawing on post-structural theory, Baker illustrates
the discourses, power relations and emotional demands that shape
camp counsellor employment experiences and well-being. Through
analysis of everyday experiences and interactions, Baker unpicks
the power nexus between counsellors, campers, peers and camp
management, offering a deeper understanding of camp counsellor
employment and the challenges for camp employees and employers. As
such, this book raises a call for camp researchers and industry
leaders to engage in rethinking how camp counsellor roles are
understood, shaped and embodied, and how they might be ethically
supported through reflexive management practices. Becoming and
Being a Camp Counsellor will be of interest to scholars and
students across the fields of leisure, outdoor recreation, youth
studies, and sociology.
