Accuracies
Based on Images
-counselors hang out with kids
-counselors wear comfy clothes
-counselors talk to kids

Based on YouTube clips
-camp is meant to be a fun environment (almost all)
-counselors are authority figures over kids (both Parent Traps, Bug Juice)
-counselors should be friends to campers (Bug Juice)

Inaccuracies
Based on Images
-counselors are not scantily clad :/
-counselors don't always carry a clipboard & whistle
-being a counselor is not always all smiles
-all camps aren't outside/in the woods

Based on YouTube clips
-camp counselors/directors are not the bad guys (Heavyweights, Salute Your Shorts)
-counselors/directors are not idiots (Heavyweights, Salute, Ernest Goes to Camp, Addams Family Values, Wet Hot American Summer)
-counselors/directors don't care about the kids (same as previous)
-camp is not somewhere kids go as punishment (Heavyweights, Addams Family Values)

Not Sure
Based on Images
-it's hard to tell from images what all types of camps are out there
-I'm not sure if camp directors would have very much interaction with campers compared to camp counselors

Based on YouTube clips
-I don't know how stern camp directors actually have to be
-it seems unclear if there really is a balance between being the fun counselor/director and the disciplinarian
