    I love that you're actually honest about your experience at camp, I'm thinking about doing camp america next summer (I'm from the UK) and like EVERY person who's made a video about it is like "IT'S THE BEST THING EVER NO REGRETS EVERYTHING IS POSITIVE YAYAYAY!!!" and i'm hiiiiighly dubious about it lmao

    This has actually inspired me to apply for camp counselor jobs. Next summer is my last summer before college and I want to spend it doing things out of my comfort zone and working at a camp has always been a thought in the back of my mind all throughout high school.

      this is such a great idea, this upcoming summer will be my last, i will be 19 and i have no idea why being a camp counselor caught my interest when i know i’m extremely introverted. but i’ve always wanted to try working with kids so maybe i might go for it if i really have nothing better to do 😅

    I'm applying to be a camp counsellor for 2018 and I am so excited but at the same time SO TERRIFIED BECAUSE I AM AN UGLY INTROVERT AT TIMES but can adapt very easily to situations, but the thought of not being able to have some alone time is daunting. I AM AMAZED YOU SURVIVED give me some more tips on how to survive please :)
    loved your video!

    I also spent this summer as a camp counselor. I have been going to this camp since I moved to Ohio and I went through pretty much all the programs from camper to all the teen programs to being a counselor for the past two summers. I couldn't imagine doing anything else with my summers. I've made such great friends and I love more than anything when campers come back and they remember you from last year. My camp is a little different that yours. Campers only come one week at a time, being dropped off Sunday at 2 and picked up Friday at 5. We also have a day camp/ hybrid camp where kids get dropped off in the morning and get picked up in the afternoon on Monday and Tuesday and sleep over Wednesday and Thursday night. I'm glad you seemed to have a great time. I'll leave now so i don't talk about camp for 5 years. Love ya!

    Duuuude! I did the same thing a few summers ago. But as a lifeguard! Worst summer of my life. I NEED my alone time. So it was really hard. I just wasn't in a healthy place in my life and I was stuck in the mountains with nonstop work. But it did show me I could test myself emotionally, physically, socially. And I met some cool people from all over the world. Anyways, I totally relate!

  • @aliciacampbell3378

    I just finished my fourth summer as a camp counsellor! I'm also an introvert and my biggest fear was also not getting alone time as well as dealing with how shy I am. At my camp we only get 1 22 hour period off a week (which the counsellors always use to spend as bonding time) and that's it, so it's challenging but I eventually got so used to it that it was weird to come home and have alone time. You should definitely go back to camp because I find every year gets better and easier :)

    I was a camp counselor at a summer camp for kids with muscular dystrophy. I was counseling 6-8 year old boys, there were about 15 of them within four rooms. What makes it worse is that another one of the councilors would tell the kids scary stories right before bed. I can probably count on one hand how many times I didn't have to sleep in or next to one of the kids beds because they were scared.

    Camp programs advertised to my University with costs starting at £350. For the amount of time you would be working not really getting payed I didn't think the cost would get much higher but it gets very expensive. As soon as you get accepted clock starts to when you need to hand over more money and if anything goes wrong they can kick you off the program without giving your money back.
