“Working at Camp Wapsie this summer was life-changing to say the least. The environment is so supportive and the kids are great. Everyone on staff pushes each other to do their best with amazing results. As a counselor you have the ability to change a kid's life and create an unforgettable week for them. This experience was extremely gratifying and helped me grow so much as a person.”
