It's true what they say; working at a summer camp is a life-changing experience. I was lucky enough to work at a camp for the past 2 summers teaching Horse Riding.. If you're thinking about working at a summer camp, then read on to find out why a summer camp will change you!
You're making a difference
While working at summer camp, you are a role model to the campers. You're the person they look up to..You're the one that they will always remember. I never knew that I could make that influence on someone until my last summer when my campers hugged me and told me that "I had changed their lives"!
Personal skill development
Remember all those New Year Resolutions (新年决心) that you made, of things that you said you would change, but you broke them?? Working at a summer camp is fantastic in developing personal skills and improving/building confidence. From looking after children and working long hours, my time management skills have developed, but also my social skills and patience have grown dramatically.
When people talk about summer camps, they will usually say "it's about the people", or "it's the place." Luckily at my camp, it was "the people AND the place." I have made friends from all over the world, who have completely changed me as a person and have helped me develop a new outlook on life. Your camp friends become your family away from home, and that is something that no money can buy.
