Stepping out of my comfort zone and working at a summer camp in a different state. I also enjoyed meeting the different people that worked at the camp. I enjoyed being able to be creative in the social posts that I made and getting positive feedback from the parents that stayed up to date.
What I wish was different
My productivity could've been better because towards the middle of my time, I felt myself starting the lack the confidence I had at the beginning and it started to play a role in my job
Advice
Being mentally prepared to basically work 15 hour days and to hold my head high even when times are rough

What I liked
The people I worked with were amazing! The children I worked with were awesome! My boss was great! And the horses were great!
What I wish was different
Nothing really! This was my second summer working here and the camp got better over the year. I am sure that it will be even better next summer!
Advice
Go in with an open mind and ready to learn new things. Try and befriend everyone you can, so don’t isolate yourself. Be ready to work really hard but find rewards in some seemingly unliked places and people.
