North Star Camp for Boys

Camp Counselor

June - August 2020 • Hayward, WI

What I liked

Outdoor, supportive community, great friends, working with kids, nature-based, amazing work environment, beautiful location.

What I wish was different

COVID caused some struggles, mainly with how staff could spend time off. Days can get long, but lean on your co-counselors for support and let people know if you need some time to yourself. The group-living environment can take adjusting for some people.

Advice

It was a great experience - I was way out of my comfort zone as I was immersed in a new world for 2 months. I made memories and formed solid friendships.
