I loved knowing that my work mattered to our campers. This job was a great opportunity to escape the school environment and spend a summer in nature with women. I gained leadership skills, met incredible friends, and had the lovely opportunity to teach younger people and learn new skills myself.
What I wish was different
I wish there had been more opportunity for professional development and realistic workplace training for the kind of environment a camp provides.
Advice
Only take this job if you have a true passion for encouraging and supporting young women!

Being a camp counselor was fun but it important to find a job that really suits you. I enjoyed working with kids but found it stressful to do so with such disorganized management Which can make it much harder to do your job well.
