I loved being outside and learning while teaching young men and women! I loved the Comradery that my co-workers and I shared! The upper management got to know our names and many of the campers too.
What I wish was different
A thicker paycheck
Advice
When your work is what you love two things will happen. One you will work 3000% harder and two your work won't feel quite like work. Just a heads up. If you're thinking about applying for Outdoors For Youth you've got to be tough! Tough enough that you can be having fun even though the weather is miserable and you have 20 campers complaining about it (maybe even your co workers).
