Pros

The staff were great, the pay wasn't terrible, and room and board were taken care of. I really enjoyed my time with the kids and the staff. I made some lifelong friends there. It's a great place if you don't need money during the summer.

Cons

The children were spoiled rotten. I heard that it cost approximately $11,000 a summer (per kid). Some families had three kids at camp. The worst part was getting paid in one lump sum at the end of the summer.

Pros

Co-workers are from all over the world. Everyone is very adventurous and positive to be around. The job itself is one of a kind in regards to being outside all summer and working with the campers.

Cons

Very strict rules, low pay, and little appreciation. Camp management will squeeze everything they can & then some from counselors. You will no doubt end the summer feeling frustrated and burnt out. It doesn’t have to be that way either, if they allowed more time off and hired more people (they definitely have the money to do so). If they can’t do that, then the pay should be double, if not more, than what they currently offer (no exaggeration).
