I don’t want to say anything about tipping day camp counselors but sleep away counselors I think can and should be tipped by the camper if they are old enough. From my experience as a camper, my counselor was lousy one year and I explained that to my parents and therefore made it quite clear to the counselor why I chose not to tip them. However, the jc that year was great and I did tip them. After that, I never had lousy counselors and I gave the amount that the camp suggested. If the parents get involved when the kid is young, fine. But once the kid is in 7th or 8th grade I think they should give it. It’s only sincere that way.
