UNCW MarineQuest

Camp Counselor

May - August 2019 • Wilmington, NC

What I liked

I loved teaching the kids new scientific skills and watching them use critical thinking skills.

What I wish was different

I wish some of the older kids were more willing to lead by example.

Advice

Staying organize and doing research on the lessons you’ll teach will help a lot. Don’t forget to have fun with it to help the kids engage more!

Instructor

June - August 2019 • Wilmington, NC

What I liked

I loved the job itself-teaching, interacting, and working with kids on a more in-depth level was great. The subject matter was also extremely interesting to me, so it naturally was a fun job!

What I wish was different

I wish I would have done a full-time instructor position instead of combining part-time instruction and being a resident assistant.

Advice

It's only a few months, but you learn so much while teaching! Absorb everything you can.

Day Instructor

May 2018 • Wilmington, NC

What I liked

I liked the group of people I worked with and being able to teach kids.

What I wish was different

I think if we had been able to add input into lesson plans and be more flexible with that.

Advice

It’s a great opportunity to teach as well as learn about marine science more. I learned a lot while being an instructor.
