What I liked

I loved working with the kids and doing fun activities with them. I mostly worked with special needs campers and helped them feel included with in the larger group.

What I wish was different

How the hours we work during the summer were different than what was said during the interview so that was a little annoying. I would have also liked to see some more staff to help out with the day to day operations.

Advice

You have to have patience. Anything you work with kids they are going to find a way to push all your buttons. You can't let them get to you and remember that you are incharge, not them.
