I really liked having the opportunity to influence teens interested in the arts, and I had been a camper at Idyllwild in the past so working with students who have the same passions/goals as me was really rewarding.
What I wish was different
I wish there had been better communication between staff members, and that all staff members were treated equally by our supervisors.
Advice
I would advise someone who is considering taking this job to put their whole self into the experience and not hold back if they are nervous or insecure about the environment or people around them. It was so different than anything I'd done before and it took me awhile to open up to my coworkers, but once I did I made really close friends and had an amazing experience that I learned a lot from.
