Camp Counselor

May - July 2019 • Alpine, AL

What I liked

Excellent and enjoyable environment that helps foster memorable and exciting experiences for children 6-13. Fantastic leadership dedicated to excellence, and a work place that makes you feel proud (but tired) of what you can do to help others.

What I wish was different

Work is very intensive (it's a summer camp) and there are lots of responsibilities to juggle, but its all manageable if you are smart about it

Advice

Don't let your tiredness detract from the camper's experience or your own. You can sleep when the summer is over!
