Summer Camp Counselor
May - July 2019 • Kennesaw, GA
What I liked
I enjoyed the experience of working with kids. My coworkers were also great. It was a STEM based camp, so I even learned a lot about different computer programs and softwares.
What I wish was different
I wish it had been better organized, a lot of it was experimentation and when there are kids involved, it makes me nervous to not have good procedures in place. We will have new management next year so I hope it will improve.
Advice
Anyone with the goal of K-12 education should look at getting a similar job. The experience may help you determine that it isn't the career for you or may confirm that it is exactly what you want to be doing.
