Whites on Shabbat. Color Games. Inspection. Words that sound foreign to those who didn't attend Jewish Summer Camp but are a familiar comfort for those who did. Whether you spent your hours by the pool or tending to your campers every need, there are just some things that all camp counselors know to be true. You might be a camp counselor if . . .

1. You can make a job wheel.

2. You instinctively tell all running children you see to "walk please."

3. You raise your hand high expecting people to quiet down.

4. You get strange looks on your night off when you talk about missing your kids. Especially if someone asks you how many you have.

6. You continually tell the world that camp friends are the best friends in the world.

7. You start doing the folk dances to songs when you hear those songs out in public.

12. If it's your first 'real' job and paycheck, even though in your heart you know you would have done it for free.

13. You say 'girls' like this: 'guuuuuuuurlllls'.

14. When you're out with a group and keep counting to make sure everyone's there.

19. You de-stress by making friendship bracelets.
