Summer season is LONG and can be grueling. Can feel overworked. Time off is minimal

A lot of money goes into this camp to make it a very fun experience for the campers, educational, and outdoors

- my superior was a 20 year old lead of our program who frequently had outbursts with a new employee who had been hired with very little training into the camp specific program, conspired with other staff to slowly separate them from the rest of the team and engagement with the kids. When the employee that was being targeted took it up with the camp leadership they said they would have a talk with her to address the bullying but never did, forced the employee to continue to work around the bullying 24/7 and then fired the employee for having low energy / being sad. The management prioritizes the camper experience and the $$$ that they receive from the families over the well being of g of their staff. I was not the only one that summer that left because of similar circumstances. 7 other camp counselors quit the same program I was in throughout the summer. I felt like everyone was working against me secretly behind my back for days and was trying to find a way to get rid of me
