What I liked

You'll work with some of the kindest, brightest kids you've ever met. The organization is filled with so much love, and everyone brings their best for the kids.

What I wish was different

Communication between the administration and staff was often slow or nonexistent. While this rarely affected the kids' experiences, it got to be annoying over the summer.

Advice

Throughout the summer, I worked long hours, and had over an hour commute each way. Nevertheless, the kids make the experience worth every minute. They bring love and energy. Your job is to return that love and energy and make their camp experience as great as possible.
