I loved my employers and coworkers! The style of training and the overall work environment promotes a work-family feeling. Also, it is so unique and special to be able to work outdoors. Most of all, I loved meeting, learning about, and interacting with all of the different campers!
What I wish was different
For the amount of time and energy that the job requires (you really do work 23 hours a day, 5 days a week), I feel like I did financially miss out a bit. It’s true that this job isn’t really about the money, but as a college student, salary does have to be a factor to some degree.
Advice
I encourage everyone—and I mean everyone—to give this sort of job a try! It takes commitment and patience, but it is so worth it for the people you get to be around and the things you get to do.
My advice is be mentally prepared for that going in, and you’ll be golden!
