Books like Baby-Sitters' Summer Vacation by Ann M. Martin
The Baby‑Sitters split their summer vacation between caretaking their usual clients and serving as counselors‑in‑training at Camp Mohawk. Camp life offers fresh challenges: a night lost in the woods, makeup tutorials, secret visits to the boys' side, and prank‑prone adventures with poison ivy. Each girl also navigates new romantic feelings, learning that babysitting in the woods can be just as unpredictable as a summer camp story.
Together the girls discover that watching over others while camp activity unfolds tests their patience and teamwork skills, emphasizing the growing bond between the counselors and the campers they once only knew as sit‑clients.
