I really enjoyed the people I worked with and my boss. There was great communication and assistance given when needed. Everyone was very helpful and accepting.
What I wish was different
I wish rules for disciplining children and camp rules in general were specified and given directly to us.
Advice
My advice would be to have fun and give everything you have to the children you are serving. For some of them, this is the only love and fun they receive during the day so make the most of it.

What I liked
Working with Zeeland Public Schools brought a lot of enjoyment. It was a great opportunity to work with students and start preparing for my future. I really enjoyed being with a specific age group of students and working with them this summer. My coworkers were extremely nice and accepting. My boss is phenomenal and I am very proud to work under her authority. I hope to continue working with Zeeland Public Schools.
What I wish was different
Looking back to this summer, I do not have anything in mind that I wish was different. Working with Zeeland Public Schools hardly felt like work. I enjoyed everything about it and I hope that others feel the same way.
Advice
My advice for anyone that works in the Z-Kids program is to have fun. This is your summer and the students' summer as well and by having fun it will not feel like a job. Enjoy your time with the students because you will miss them when the summer ends.
