Which statement best describes the counselor's focus in Camp Kesem's behavior model?

• A. Strictly enforcing rules
• B. Handling administrative tasks
• C. Leading camp activities only
• D. Effectively promoting and increasing positive behavior

Answer: (D)

Promoting and increasing positive behavior is the focus because the behavior model aims to teach and encourage the actions we want to see, using positive strategies that build skills, self-regulation, and supportive relationships. This approach uses clear expectations, consistent praise, and proactive supports to help campers choose appropriate behaviors, rather than relying solely on punishment, administrative tasks, or just running activities. When the emphasis is on reinforcing what campers do well and guiding them toward better choices, behavior change tends to be more lasting and constructive.
