Activity Area Head and Camp Counselor

What I liked
Camp of the Woods has a wonderful culture and many opportunities to explore areas you know nothing about. It is an outdoors camp so you spend most of your time outdoors. You have the opportunity to get trained in various outdoor activities such as lifeguarding, archery, rock climbing/belaying, backpacking, etc. You also make develop long-lasting relationships and fun memories.
What I wish was different
I wish the pay was higher, but camp counseling jobs usually don't have high pay.
Advice
Be ready for a lot of energy and work.
