6 Reasons Why You Should Work at Camp This Summer

Posted by Alex Konstantinon March 20, 2019

1. You Will Have a Ton of Fun

Being a camp counselor isn’t like most summer jobs. You won’t be confined to a desk filing papers
or stuck bussing tables. Instead, your summer will be spent on a gorgeous 40-acre campus surrounded
by kids who admire you. Campers aren’t the only ones who get to enjoy the pool, sports complex, and
ropes course. You’ll go down the waterslides, play basketball in the gym, and climb the rock wall
alongside your campers, the only difference is you’ll be getting paid. Every day at Congressional Camp is
filled with awesome kids having exciting adventures in a beautiful summer setting.

2. You Will Have a Positive Impact on Your Campers’ Lives

Being a camp counselor is about more than just having a fun summer job. Your campers will come
to idolize you. You’ll be the coolest person they’ve ever met. This means that you will have the power
to help shape their lives. Watching your campers gain confidence knowing that you played a part in
their development is one of the most rewarding feelings in the world. Being a camp counselor means
you will be getting paid to help young people grow and develop into happy and healthy adults. Our
campers need positive counselors to spend the summer with!

3. Campers Will Have a Positive Impact on Your Life

Not only will you improve the lives of your campers, they will positively impact yours. You will grow
alongside them. While working at Congressional, you’ll develop a sense of responsibility, enhance your
ability to communicate, and become a more confident leader. Alongside the fun you’ll have at camp,
caring for your campers will help you develop a sense of responsibility. You’ll meet so many new faces
and will interact with so many different folks that you’ll become skilled at communicating with all types
of people. Leading a group of campers throughout the summers means that you’ll become a natural

leader. Working at camp provides you with unique experiences that foster your growth in ways that
other summer jobs simply can’t. Best of all, your campers will make you smile, because their faces will
light up every time they see you.

that you are a skilled and capable candidate. The skills and qualifications you’ll gain at camp will look
