“Working at Camp Wapsie this summer was life-changing to say the least. The environment is so supportive and the kids are great. Everyone on staff pushes each other to do their best with amazing results. As a counselor you have the ability to change a kid's life and create an unforgettable week for them. This experience was extremely gratifying and helped me grow so much as a person.”

Junior Counselor

June 2021 Coggon, IA
“I love being able to work with kids! The activity options at camp are extensive and engaging. Camp harnesses kids' creativity and pushes them to try new things outside of their comfort zone. Counselors are given the opportunity to take charge by leading activities and games. This builds important improvisation and organization skills. The community counselors form during the summer is accepting and fun.”
