Marine Science Institute

Marine Camp Counselor

June - August 2022 • Redwood City, CA

What I liked

I loved the ability to work on land and on a boat with hands-on experience in teaching marine science topics to children while working with a small group of coworkers to follow the curriculum standards.

What I wish was different

Nothing really, the children were a bit tough to deal with at times but it was worth it.

Advice

When you start this experience, there are also people who don't know what their doing, so if certain topics are new to you, you will learn as time goes on.
