I enjoyed interacting with the kids and leading crafts, songs, cooking camps, and swim activities. I also loved working with the other college aged counselors
What I wish was different
Nothing really! I got alot of hours and it was different every week!
Advice
Give yourself time to rest on the weekends... self care is important and kids are hard work!

Assistant Camp Coordinator
May - August 2018 • Grand Rapids, MI
What I liked
I liked having the freedom to work with all the campers and counselors throughout the day. I also liked being able to be a role model and have fun doing it.
What I wish was different
I wish we had more space and organization!
Advice
The assistant position is a definite step up from being a counselor that comes with its own challenges and rewards. You may feel slightly outside the loop of the counselors. This is one thing that comes with the position and you will have to accept it in order to remain professional.
