Struggling with fatigue?
Being a camp counselor is no joke. There are obstacles to overcome, fatigue that creeps in at the toughest moments, and inconveniences that seem incredibly significant when they crop up. The work can be rewarding, but also very exhausting. I know firsthand. This past summer, I served as a Junior Counselor at a camp for Christian Scientists.
Even though I was consistently striving to do my best and trying to set a good example for the campers, I felt like I wasn’t giving 100 percent in some areas of my job. I tried to express energy and effort the way the counselors I’d looked up to when I was a camper had, but I felt burnt out by the end of each day. This fatigue, paired with the concern of an illness that was going around, made me realize that there was some adjustment needed in my own thoughts.
I felt burnt out by the end of each day.
