I love being able to work with kids and have a fun, active experience over the summer.
What I wish was different
Each summer session is different, so there's always a surprise around the corner. This is frustrating sometimes, but prepares you for the real world.
Advice
Make sure the kids are your number one priority (after your health) and ensure you are on top of paperwork and the status of each submitted form.

What I liked
Great experience with all different kinds of kids! You spend all day outside canoeing, swimming, and roasting marshmallows! The ultimate camp experience!
What I wish was different
More break time with counselors. A counselor gets a break for two hours Monday through Friday. And a half day off on Saturday and work full time on Sunday.
Advice
If you like the outdoors and nature you will love this camp counselor!

What I liked
I liked the opportunities that I had to influence the kids that came to camp and all the coworkers that I had. Many of the people around me came from very different backgrounds and it was interesting to learn about them and their life experiences and be able to tell them about mine.
What I wish was different
I wish I would have be able to get out more and explore the area around me.
Advice
There needs to be a balance between hard work and having fun.
