Assistant Counselors

Assistant Counselors are literally assistants to the Head Counselors, ranked below them but above CITs.

Assistants rotate jobs on a biweekly basis. As FCDC is a six-week camp, an Assistant will work at three different activities throughout a single summer.

In counselor competitions, Assistants battle against Heads and CITs to win points for The Assistant Team.

Role at FCDC
Whereas Heads are responsible for running activities, Assistants are responsible for supporting Head counselors' endeavors and assisting in the operation of activities whenever possible. They are less responsible for creating lesson plans and more focused on physically carrying out the tasks of the activity they are appointed to.

When the camp is gathered as one group, Assistants are not as in the spotlight as Head Counselors but are equally applauded for participation in all events and activities.

Attributes

 * Assistants range in age from 14-18. The beginning of elegibility for assistant-counselorship is the early high school years.

Trivia

 * Assistant Counselors with many years of experience and a reputation for maturity and leadership may be appointed the role of "Floater" which obligates them to fill the role of any Head Counselor who cannot attend to their camp activities due to illness or a similar scenario. These counselors, being chosen for their maturity and responsibility, are often granted Head Counselor positions the following summer if any are available.
