Tipping camp counselors?

My daughter has been attending a camp program for three weeks/three days per week. She has three counselors. One seems to be the "head" counselor. My question is how much do I tip these girls? I don't want to seem cheap, but I also don't want to break the bank!
Thanks in advance!

Whatever you can afford. Anything is nice to get at the end of the summer.

I agree, my son went to a 6 week camp at his daycare, there were 3 teachers I gave each $30, I didn't differentiate bw assistant and head bc honestly it seemed the assistants did more with him lol

Tipping camp counselors?

I worked at a camp for years.. as the head counselor, they make like 50 cents more an hour and they never get tipped, they do all the planning of activities, and they're always forgotten about!!
But honestly, most parents don't tip.. so even when someone gave $5 they were extremely appreciative. Most tips were $10. Once in a blue moon you'd get a generous $25-$50 tip.
