Re: Tipping at Camp

When I worked at a camp I was told by the director $1 a day per child per counselor was standard. I would typically work an 8 week camp, at 5 days a week... a $40 tip would be the average. This was years agoChat Icon Chat Icon but I think it is a good rule of thumb.

My kids go all summer, and I tip $40 a counselor. I've never heard the $1 a day rule, but it sounds right to me.

ETA a lot of camps will circulate "tipping" charts.
