I Have a Love/Hate Relationship with my Co
Working, living, and ‘co-parenting’ with someone you just met can be a challenge. Co’s might feel forced to work with someone they don’t know, they don’t like, and don’t want to spend time with. And yet, co-counselor relationships are vital to a successful summer for staff and campers – and positive partnerships don’t happen ‘by magic’. Delving into hidden and explicit expectations, shared values, and understanding roles can help co’s present a united front. Intentionality is a key to success.
