What I liked

I loved being able to work with amazing kids all summer. The staff is terrific, you meet so many kind people from all over the world. You also have the opportunity to network with physicians and nurses who come to camp to take care of the kids.

What I wish was different

Advice

Start the application process early, be ready to answer fun campy questions in your interview, and know that you will be working long hours, but it is definitely worth it, you'll have the most rewarding summer ever!

Program Leader

May 2017 • Gypsum, CO

What I liked

This opportunity provideg me with amazing experiences working with kids of all different backgrounds. I learned how to plan programs for kids ages 7-17 that were accessible, adaptable, fun, and taught underlying life skills. While my primary job was to care for these kids for a week, it was really about creating an environment for these kids to just be ids for a week outside of everything else they had going on in their lives.

What I wish was different

Advice

if you like kids or what to go into medicine, therapeutic recreation, child life, or behavioral studies. DO IT.
