Do you get gifts for camp counselors?

Our preschool runs an 8wk camp. Not sure what I should give to the counselors.

What are you gifting?

I was thinking of movie tickets or starbucks cards.

I always got cash tips as a camp counselor. It was over 10 years ago, but most parents gave me $100.

Is this overnight camp?

$100 seems like a lot! I didn't even gift that to preschool teachers for the entire school year.

I was thinking of $25 gift cards.

I would - I received them when I was a camp counsellor - in a value along the lines what you are thinking - a little less actually (but, this was 20 years ago eek!)

I normally give a little something though when my kids change classes though.

Nope - it was day camp. The way it was structured was each counselor had a few kids from the group that they took care of all summer, so they only tipped the one counselor and group leader.
