Cal Poly - EPIC-Engineering Possibilities in College

Camp Counselor

June - July 2023 • San Luis Obispo, CA

What I liked

EPIC offered a really positive environment to work with ambitious students, but not be constantly policing or teaching them. The work was not too draining, though it was rewarding.

What I wish was different

Despite saying I am not a competent Spanish speaker in my interview, I was counseling multiple students who spoke only Spanish, no English. This was frustrating and made it hard to include them with my limited Spanish ability.

Advice

This is a great way to spend time in SLO over the summer! I would recommend applying, especially if you don't manage to line up any internships.
