A Day in the Life of…

Marimeta Staff - Day in the life

A Day in the Life of a Counselor at Camp

Here is an example of what a typical day at Camp Marimeta is like for a counselor:

8:00 am Whole camp is awakened by music (A great way to get you out of bed!)
8:15 am Camper waitresses get called to set their tables
8:20 am Flag raising
8:30 am Breakfast (Mmm…yummy start to the day)
9:00 am Cabin clean up (can you help make it fun?)
9:30-10:15 am 1st Period activity
10:30-11:15 am 2nd Period activity
11:30 am – 12:15 pm 3rd Period activity
12:20 pm Waitresses
12:30 pm Lunch (Get ready for more delish food and some crazy singing!)
1:30 – 2:30 pm Rest Period-one counselor from each cabin is actively on duty in their cabin
2:30 – 3:15 pm 4th Period activity
3:30 – 4:15 pm 5th Period activity
4:15 pm Canteen (candy & pop)
4:30 – 5:30 pm General activity period
5:40 pm Waitresses
5:50 pm Flag lowering
6:00 pm Dinner
7:30 pm Evening Activity
9:15 – 10:30 pm Taps played (bedtime)

The whole camp attends all the meals and the flag raising and lowering. The activity periods are 45 minutes each and there is a 15-minute break between activities. The 15 minutes will be used to prepare for your next activity. All counselors are required to be at their activity 5 minutes before the start.

The evening activity is different every night, and will vary in its length. You will be required to help run the activity and in some cases to help plan it. A few examples of evening activities are: Skits, Team Competition and Cabin Competition, and all camp games. Taps is played according to when the evening activity ends. It is the signal for the camp to quiet down for the night. Depending on your cabins age group, bedtime varies.

Sundays are different. They are considered Cabin days. Instead of following the regular schedule, you have a sleep-in in the morning and then enjoy activities as a cabin in the afternoon.

We can't wait to see you! Our next amazing summer camp season starts on June 19, 2023.
