If you attended a camp as a youth, don't expect the same experience for yourself as a staff member. It can still be lots of fun as a counselor, but it is also hard work. Camp counselors put in long days and don't always get paid a lot, but the work is rewarding and you will likely meet people that will be life-long friends.

*Most camp directors will file form letters where they belong- in the trash! 

*Making an introductory phone call is a good first step 

*Send references with your letter or resume- the camp will want them eventually and the sooner you provide them, the better your chances are. 

*Early application is best. In January, most camps have lots of openings and few applicants. In April or May there are few spots left, but lots of applicants. 

*Better late than never- even in May some camps need specific positions filled. Call around to find the one that is still looking for your talents. 

*First aid & CPR training are usually required, a plus is lifeguard training.  Any training specific to your activity area will help, especially if the emphasis is on instructing the activity. 

*Camp is for kids. If the kids aren't your first priority, you should probably look somewhere else for a job.

What is the Zend Optimizer?

The Zend Optimizer is one of the most popular PHP plugins for performance-improvement, and has been available without charge, since the early days of PHP 4. It improves performance by scanning PHP's intermediate code and passing it through multiple Optimization Passes to replace inefficient code patterns with more efficient code blocks. The replaced code blocks perform exactly the same operations as the original code, only faster.

In addition to improving performance, the Zend Optimizer also enables PHP to transparently load files encoded by the Zend Guard.

The Zend Optimizer is a free product available for download from Zend Technologies. Zend Technologies also developed the PHP scripting engine, known as the Zend Engine.
