The Camper Support Coordinator (CSC) is responsible for providing child-centered conflict resolution and proactive, preventative group management coaching to minimize behavior issues. 

​

The CSC is available to support campers having trouble acclimating or transitioning, during big operation moments, when Guides are otherwise unavailable  (camper drop-off, morning ceremony, etc). 

​

In addition to campers having Big Feelings, the CSC supports conflict resolution, as part the Behavioral Intervention process at Wildfolk (1. Redirection via Guide, 2. CSC intervention, 3. Camp Director/Site Director intervention)

​

During the Camp Day, they participate in campus “rounds” to observe Guides, provide formal and informal coaching, and being generally available for camper support incidents. 

 

 They may be called into the Camp Office (via Walky-Talky) when incidents are brought to the Camp Office. The CSC completes Incident Reports and relays important details to the Camp Director and Site Director.
