The entire goal of the Chippewa Nature Center is to help children build meaningful and passionate relationships with the outdoors through hands-on experience and fun education; I could feel that mission ring through the actions of all my co-workers each day. The job was so much fun: from kayaking, to high ropes courses, to overnight campouts and late night games. The staff was unbelievably supportive and it was the best job I have ever had.
What I wish was different
Not much to be completely honest.
Advice
You can never be too old to be goofy. Running around in the rain, dressing up and dancing and singing look good on any age.
