i really strongly feel that it is totally disgusting to pay them such little wage. yes, granted, they might have fun with friends, but they are working really hard! and what about all the preparation that goes into it without friends?! huh?! people babysit for sleeping kids and get paid more than that! i think this is total theft of a person’s Kochos.
if anyone here is a camp director or something – PAY YOUR STAFF FAIRLY! don’t cheat them out of their talents and Kochos!
and by the way, for those of you who say it was their choice to work there – if everyone decided not to work there because of the pay, there would be no camp due to a lack of staff. so in that way, they’re doing a chessed and should be commended.
