1. Introduction -- 2. A Genealogy of Summer Camp -- 3. Rethinking Camp Counsellor Experiences -- 4. Discursive Productions of Camp Selves -- 5. Becoming a Camp Counsellor: Everyday Power and Processes of Subjectification -- 6. Being a Camp Counsellor: Emotions at Work -- 7. Conclusions -- 8. Reflections.

This book explores the complexities of the recreational summer camp experiences and its reliance on the expertise and emotion work of young people. Drawing on post-structural theory, Baker illustrates the discourses, power relations and emotional demands that shape camp counsellor employment experiences and well-being. Through analysis of everyday experiences and interactions, Baker unpicks the power nexus between counsellors, campers, peers and camp management, offering a deeper understanding of camp counsellor employment and the challenges for camp employees and employers. As such, this book raises a call for camp researchers and industry leaders to engage in rethinking how camp counsellor roles are understood, shaped and embodied, and how they might be ethically supported through reflexive management practices. Becoming and Being a Camp Counsellor will be of interest to scholars and students across the fields of leisure, outdoor recreation, youth studies, and sociology.
