Why
Work at a Camp?
Does
this describe you or someone you know?
You
love the outdoors. You love hiking and
biking and sailing. And – your
good friend says you're great with kids.
If you relate to this, then there's the
perfect place waiting for you: summer camp.
Over half a million college students will
find their way from their campus to camp
this summer to fill openings at camps across
the United States.
Consider this:
Live, play, and work in the great outdoors.
Go on active adventures.
Experience other parts of the country.
Make new friends from all over – even
from other countries.
Bank more money than you think – with
few expenses.
Become a child's hero.
Learn leadership skills.
Camp jobs offer invaluable skill-building,
leadership, training, and enrichment opportunities
found nowhere else. Regardless of your
college major, camp experiences allow you
to learn and develop skills that will enhance
your job marketability. The benefits go
far beyond a paycheck, too. Business executives
often note that experience as a camp counselor
translates into excellent management and
personnel skills. College credit can sometimes
be obtained from working at camp. Check
with your college advisor to see if you
qualify.
