She does so under the guise of a moral project to help understand troubled teenagers and lower the barriers between them and the more privileged youths, all while cutting expenses through denying necessities. She holds an apparently naive and ignorant understanding of teenagers. She also appears to be extremely hypocritical and lazy, eating veggie burgers and fries at the cafeteria while demanding campers get their own food by fishing, farming, and demanding campers fix coffee for her and throw out her trash. In "Nightmare Vacation", she beats Ricky (Rags Willis) up mercilessly. She is injured after battery acid is thrown on her face in "It's a Camp Trap!", and in "Quillsville Wasteland" she is buried alive and beheaded by Angela (Shushu), of whom Melanie would arrest.
