Are team members responsible for creating their own lesson plans?

The correct answer is that team members are not responsible for creating their own lesson plans. In a structured camp environment, lesson plans are typically developed by experienced counselors or program directors to ensure consistency, adherence to safety standards, and alignment with the camp’s educational objectives. This centralized approach allows for a cohesive experience across various activities and ensures that all instructional materials meet the camp’s standards and goals.

While it can be beneficial for team members to have input or be involved in the planning process, placing the onus of lesson planning entirely on them may lead to inconsistencies and could detract from the overall effectiveness of the camp's programming. Providing established lesson plans facilitates better oversight, support for counselors, and quality control in the delivery of educational content.
