Camp Counselor
June - August 2018 • Flagstaff, AZ
What I liked
I loved my job and working with the children.
What I wish was different
I wish the pay was more. Being a summer camp counselor is a very demanding job. Most weeks I worked 10 hours shifts and was responsible for 40-50 kids at once while only getting payed $9 an hour.
Advice
If you really love your job, pay has nothing to do with it. That is why I stayed with the job. The experience i got was unbelievable. I left that camp being a mom to almost over 100 kids.
