Real Experiences
Still undecided about what job you might be looking for at summer camp? See what some of our past participants had to say about their roles, and why many came back year after year.
A Theatre Specialist is the most creative, diverse and imaginative job you can have at camp. Free periods throughout the day let me participate in theatre activities led by other specialists.
Taking the campers out on the lake, doing things they'd never usually have the opportunity or support to do, was the greatest feeling. Seeing them feel like they can do anything was the best!
Spending four summers working at an under-served summer camp has made me grateful in many ways and taught me the importance of creating opportunities for all children.
Lifeguard training taught me so much and really pushed me out of my comfort zone. The difference between when I started camp and left camp was unimaginable and I am so grateful for the experience.
Camp America gave me an understanding of responsibility that I hadn’t experienced before. By the time I came home, I’d gained valuable leadership skills to take into future careers.
Best summers of my life! Working on a special needs camp is the most rewarding and unbelievably amazing experience, that I will continue to recommend to everyone!
