Being a camp counselor gave me the ability to watch my campers grow throughout the summer we shared together, and it gave me the chance to help aid the children in any issues that had arisen.
What I wish was different
I wish that the summer program had lasted longer, because in the weeks we worked, we grew such strong bonds with our campers and it was difficult to leave after the short amount of time together.
Advice
One piece of advice I would give is to just remember that the campers are trying their best, and to just allow them to be themselves and help them enjoy their time at camp as much as possible.
