I liked getting able to connect with kids from ages 6-16 while playing sports!

I wish I could have been there for longer!

I honestly felt nothing was wrong. I loved every second of my experience and felt that it was very rewarding.

Summer Sleep-away Camp Arts and Crafts Counselor

May - July 2018 • Cleveland, GA

What I liked

I loved the team environment and variety in my work schedule. I got to work with kids in varying development stages and accommodate them while teaching skills such as creativity and self-confidence through arts and crafts. I loved the fast paced work environment and ability to act as a leader and mentor to first year staff.

What I wish was different

I wish there was an internship program and better incentives to incentivize returning staff retention as most staff were not my age.

Advice

Go in with an open mind and realizing the potential you have to impact children especially those who might be overlooked.
