The Harker School

Summer Camp Counselor

June - August 2023 • San Jose, CA

What I liked

I really enjoyed working with kids and with my coworkers, and watching the kids come home tired from all the fun that they had that day!

What I wish was different

I wish that my group was a bit bigger, because it was really fun working with a large group of kids last year.

Advice

This kind of job requires you to step outside of your comfort zone and be enthusiastic in front of kids, so I'd say that you should be brave and not be worried about being judged for being more enthusiastic. The job really helps you become more social and comfortable with asking for help and being energetic.

Security

May 2019 • Saratoga, CA

What I liked

I like how they are flexible with my school, gives me good hours, not as stressful.

What I wish was different

The pay should be a little bit better because we do a lot of labor. Management is unorganized at times and no benefits.

Advice

I learned a lot to be confident in this job and taught me to be my own boss with responsibilities.

Summer Camp Counselor

June - August 2019 • San Jose, CA

What I liked

I loved working at this summer school/camp. The staff is incredibly helpful and they are very tight knit, so showing up to work every day is fun!

What I wish was different

The only thing I wish was different is that this job was in Chico so I could work there year round!

Advice

Participate in staff activities and as many field trips, events, and rallies as possible, that was my favorite time to make memories with the kids and staff.
