The counselors became a fairly important plot point in Bring the Crunch, where they are essential to keep the Camp at Lake Tardicaca alive. Knowing this, in an attempt to destroy the camp, Nathan decided to let Mimsy tie them up and to hire thugs to scare children away.
However, Mimsy mistook Nathan's command as an assassination order, and started murdering counselors. Fastpass, Professor Chaos, Mintberry Crunch are determined to stop this and save the camp. One of the counselors committed suicide after he realized he subjected children to penile imagery, and two counselors were gravely injured before their painful demise.
Finally, the last female counselor survived the murder and the alien abduction, and proceed to get ready for the camp.
