Many of these teens working in camps are getting money from Youth Corp. In general, even when such as myself worked in a camp as a guest waitress, the assumption was that one would get tips which the camp considers pay. If i remember correctly it was about $400 that i came home with at the end of the summer. Because the supply exceeds the demand this is the way camps run and yes they tell you that your room and board is on the house! So go figure and you will see that it is not as bad as presented.
