Abstract

We live in a world where the words "me" and "I" are used most frequently and the "other" is often forgotten. Despite this, many have found that in order to lead others and eventually get what you want you must serve them and think about their needs first. This is a prevalent concept in the YMCA camping world. From my perspective, the counselors at Camp Tecumseh YMCA are held to high standards of servant leadership. I take a critical look at how camp counseling impacts a person's servant leadership abilities through research, survey, and observation.
