This is the perfect job for young people. Every day is filled with fun activities but it can be a very stressful job because you are responsible for the safety of all of the children.
What I wish was different
I really enjoy this job so nothing much.
Advice
Don’t be afraid to be silly. The kids love it when you get super into their activities so don’t be afraid to let your hair down.

What I liked
I loved my coworkers, a lot of us are college students so we still love being energetic and channeling our inner child when we play with the kids.
What I wish was different
Nothing, this is one of those jobs where you swear you won;t be returning the next summer but you always do because of the amazing friendships that you built.
Advice
Although this is a fun job, it can often bring a lot of stress into your life when you are monitoring over 40 kids. You always have to know who is in your group that day, their behavioral issues, allergies, and more. Every age group comes with different difficulties but in the end you build a great bond with the campers and staff.
