What I liked
I loved getting to go to another a state for the summer. I met so many different kinds of people, from different countries, and kids from all walks of life. I have met some of my closest friends here, can’t wait to return!

Advice
You work pretty much 24/7. You have to constantly be on top of to game. Taking care of a group of kids for a week can be stressful, so knowing how to manage that along with getting along with co counselors can be hard. Know how to do this, and you’ll have a great summer!

What I liked
I love working with kids and horses. This is a resident camp always looking to provide the best experience for both its workers and campers. You meet some of the best people here.
What I wish was different
It would have been great if the hours weren't as long, but that's how resident camps always are.
Advice
Be prepared to be working in some crazy weather. It sometimes feels like the job will never end, but at the end of the day it is well worth it.
