Being able to Make an impact on children’s lives. It was hard work, but you feel rewarded because of what you accomplished. It made you work hard and efficient and that’s great practice for any job in the future. I’m glad I got to share that experience with the campers because I love being a counselor.
What I wish was different
I wish that they were more staff that got hired. It made the job harder then necessary when having to do a task that requires 12 people and you only have half the people with a short time span. Also it made the experience more stressful than normal and some days it made it hard to want to do work. Nonetheless we made due with what we had.
Advice
I would definitely say this job requires strength and patience. It pushes you to your limit sometimes, but the result is worth it because you have earned that much more skill and Perseverance for the future. Plus you get to make an impact on a campers life even if you don’t see it directly in front of your eyes it happened.

What I liked
I loved the community aspect of this job, even the camp as a whole! The leaders and staff reallt care about the holistic being of each person visiting as a camper or someone who has been working there as staff!
What I wish was different
I wish there could have been more staff that applied and got hired becayse we were low in staff for a while, which made things challenging. But, we got through it!
Advice
This is a great place to come to build relationships with Christ as the center, learn to work joyfully with a servant's heart, and grow a stronger faith in relationship with the Lord. There will definitely be hard times, but the staff there supports each other always.
