Centerville-Washington Park District

Camp Counselor Coordinator

May 2018 - August 2019 • Centerville, OH

What I liked

Throughout my time at CWPD I was endlessly supported not only in professional development but also throughout the workday! There are so many opportunities to grow at this job! I loved being able to help problem solve and contribute new ideas for programming.

What I wish was different

I don't have anything negative to say.

Advice

Make sure you keep your schedule open and take as many opportunities as you can! It is so much fun to interact with the community and get creative with the events for the children in the community.

Nature Day Camp Counselor

May - August 2019 • Centerville, OH

What I liked

My fellow counselors and all of the CWPD staff were beyond helpful and incredibly kind! Working in such a fluid environment is much more manageable when there is such a strong presence of support. I loved spending time outside!

What I wish was different

Although the training was four days long, there was still information about day-to-day experiences that I would have appreciated being included.

Advice

If you do not like to spend time outside, or you do not tolerate kids well, it is probably best to look elsewhere for your summer work. It is your duty to give each child the best summer experience possible (it will be exhausting at times), so make sure that you are only entering this role if you are confident in your mission do to that.
