Camp Counselor
June - August 2019 • Bridgton, ME
What I liked
Camp administration was a delight and super easy to work with.
What I wish was different
Nothing, honestly. The camp director’s dream was to run his own camp and has been a director of this camp for 19 years. He’s very knowledgeable about what he’s doing and his staff, campers, and the camp itself shows it.
Advice
If you’re nervous about missing out on a summer with your friends, don’t be. This was one of the best experiences I’ve had. I pushed myself outside of my comfort zone and met so many amazing people and potential lifelong friends.

Camp Counselor

What I liked
This summer job was awesome because I was able to get field work for my major done at the same time. Not only was I a camp counselor, but I got to teach music at the camp which helped me learn a lot about my future career. The camp also had an outstanding staff, including international counselors. It was a fun work environment and the kids were great.
