Social Networks and Your Friends

How do social networks affect other staff members?

Online social networks are just like "real" social networks. There are friends, bullies, and people who gossip. Actions that take place online have real world consequences. If you say or do something online, odds are that everyone will find out eventually (just like real world gossip!). Teasing, or poking fun, can affect your professional relationships. Crossing the line into bullying is even worse. Please consult your camp's bullying policy and make sure that you understand the parameters and consequences that are spelled out by your camp director.

Remember:

Bullying can happen at any age and any location.
Online actions affect camaraderie and morale during the camp day.
Don't assume anonymity or privacy on anything you post online.
Remember, this is a job - act professionally towards your co-workers.
You are a role model. Campers will follow your lead.
