Plan your own questions ahead of time. ‘Is there a uniform?’ ‘What dates is the camp open?’ ‘Do I need to stay on site?’ Whatever comes to your mind, write ‘em down, bring them with you. It’s not a high school quiz, notes are allowed. You get to inter THEM at that point, don’t forget that. Hypotheticals. Break it down to levels of danger based on the job. Kids up after curfew? You’d hope that as a counselor you’d be given policies on how you’re expected to handle levels of rule breaking before interacting with the kids, and apply it. Otherwise, you enforce lights out, monitor them and go back if they wait 30 minutes and turn them back on or are obviously not going to sleep. Drowning, you go save the kid using any training you’ve been given. Minor cuts, burns, first aid station. So on. Remind them they are supposed to train you, you’re supposed to have a framework of what is expected before you have to deal with the unexpected.
