House In The Wood

About House In The Wood

House In The Wood was founded in 1910 with a simple but innovative and powerful concept: to foster growth and responsibility in our children and young adults so that they can return to their communities on the South Side as leaders. We do this by providing a safe and natural environment removed from urban life and the concrete jungle, introducing role models who counsel and exemplify these values, and creating a positive atmosphere in which our youth can be their most genuine selves. We are a part of a larger organization called Northwestern Settlement, whose mission is to disrupt generational poverty, which we accomplish through our Summer Camp, Outdoor Education, and Leader in Training (teen) programs.

Camp Counselor

June 2019 - August 2019 Delavan, WI
“What I liked most about this camp was the opportunity to push myself into an unfamiliar environment. I got to meet new people who helped me adapt and be unafraid to ask questions. I also enjoyed learning how to work with kids and learning the importance of teamwork and communication with my co-counselors. ”
