It was so wonderful to learn more about the animals and the operations of a zoo. It was a great experience teaching a small group of young children to appreciate animals and nature.
What I wish was different
We had a lot of freedom in planning which was a great experience to practice planning. Maybe more guidance on a timeline or something. Everything went great though, I wouldn't really change anything!
Advice
Gain experience. This was only a 6 week summer camp job but I learned so much and it is a great thing to have on my resume. This position has also lead me to other jobs from the connections I made.
