Pros

As a camp counselor you get to spend most of the time supervising or being involved in activities with the kids. You are in the bunk with the kids and eat meals with the kids. There's a variety of activities the kids have in a day such as basketball, tennis, swimming, field hockey, drama, arts and crafts, gaga ball, quidditch, and culinary. There's some field trips like going to theme parks, waterparks, bowling, and a county fair. Certain age groups get to go rafting. I think inter girls and the equivalent age for boys. older age groups also get to go camping. Counselors were nice and friendly. There's a mix of people from different states and countries. You get a couple of full days off, and there's shifts on night duties.

Cons

Counselors didn't have access to their phones unless it was their day off or night off. If you don't have a car, it's hard on your days off or nights off to go anywhere. They did have a bus that took you into town occasionally, but only late times coming back to camp. The time to release counselors on their night off varied sometimes it was on time sometimes it was 30 mins late or 2 hours late it just depended if the evening activity ran late.

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).
