Pros

Pretty good work culture and most of the people are lovely! It's nice to get to support young people and build their confidence.

Cons

The pay is pretty low for the amount of hours you are expected to work, plus they have hired a lot of people who really have no business being around children. One of my coworkers was a pathological liar and genuinely awful person and she got a promotion.

Pros

I honestly had a wonderful experience overall and plan to do it again. The day-to-day is great and the work feels meaningful. You can see the impact and growth. Teammates are typically grrat to work with and local camp leadership is reasonable.

Cons

Central office leadership keeps taking away power and agency from the highly qualified staff they work so hard to find and employ. In addition, there appears to be a wide gulf and lack of trust between summer camp employees and office employees. In addition, you are always on call - no true downtime for which you are not accountable and couldn't be called on.
