The time slots are part of an overall day on the camp schedule. Therefore, they will have breaks and lunch slots at different times, depending on the day’s schedule. It is a great idea to sit with the volunteer guide on your site to discuss their needs of timing. Perhaps they will need you later in the morning with a few hours after supper for bedtime routine or for some they will prefer you to me on site during the day. This is a schedule that can be worked out with the guider(s) on site, yourself and the camp director.Meals: For breakfast and lunch, they often eat on their scheduled site for the week.   Suppers are usually a mix of taking turns at each site. It is a very fun time for the staff to interact with the campers. Rainy Days: This type of weather can either be fun or challenging.
