Summer Camp Supervisor

What I liked

I loved the creativity and determination this position required. I was able to grow with the campers and the staff throughout the summer and improve the experience for all involved. I loved interacting with the kids on a daily basis and having a hands-on experience. It was a learning opportunity to hire, train, and manage a staff of 25 counselors, and a unique experience to learn from others.

What I wish was different

This position will vary in intensity depending on the managers and co-workers of the position. It most definitely will make or break the experience depending on who is supporting you.

Advice

It is a great opportunity to spend the summer with kids, swimming, playing, crafting, and reading. It was an excellent way to grow as a leader and individual.
