Exciting enviroment
I worked at an outdoor camp and just had so much fun. It was really relaxed and you just got to show kids how wonderful nature was, swim, and then we would all ride a bus back to the local middle-school. There we would have lunch and then procede to play games with the kids until their parents came to pick them up. A counselor would work half the day.
Worked at Camp Chingachgook
Was a pleasurable experience being a Summer Counselor for the camp. I loved making everyone smile and happy. Not a day goes by when I don't think of the summer camp. If you are every around on Lake George, New York and are thinking of activities for your child for a couple weeks time I strongly recommend this option. The pay isn't great but the experience is well worth it.

Not great Pay but don't think on this one too much
Fun place to work with kids!
Management is very unorganized, which takes away from the enjoyable moments with the children. The children always keep you on your toes and are easy going!
engaging and fun
spent time talking and playing with the children. Helped with home work on a daily base and engaged in conversations, helped in working out any issues they may have . Sometimes challenging but mostly a fun and rewarding job.

Cool job for people in school
If you're in college or need to work during the summer break, this is a job for you. Some positions deserve more pay than given but that's a different story.
Pro érvek
Occasional gift for hard work

The position should pay more
It help me get out my comfort zone
I was able to help special needs kids and i thought i would never have a job like it. It helped me realize life is bigger then just you and you might can make a difference in someone life
Horrible management
My boss is awful. No idea what management is doing. I honestly don’t understand what’s going on with them. Not enough hours, not enough pay, stressful work environment. If I didn’t need the money I’d quit.

So much stress
a typical work day was actually pretty fun, helping kids with homework and taking them outside to play
i learned about children. i took child development classes and cpr classes.
workplace culture was very laid back and the site directors were very friendly and always willing to talk you and open to opinions
hardest part of the job is when the kids are not behaving.
the most enjoyable part of the job is the overall work environment and the bond you create with the children

Fun people, terrible bosses
I worked at the YMCA in Valdosta, GA for a little over 2 years. In my time there, I was a counselor & site leader in the childcare department. During my time as an employee, the childcare director resigned, and it was taken over by a previous director. The hours are not bad, as it’s only in the afternoon, but you may not even get 20 hours in a week. Coming from someone with an early childhood background, the work load, compensation, and the treatment of employees is highly unprofessional. There is no type of advancement unless you are on salary, which is only a handful of people. The after school program is lacking, due to high expectations, low compensation, not enough supplies, etc. Some schools have over 100 kids with 10 staff members at a time, while others have about 80-90 kids with only 3, maybe 4 staff present at a time. With the childcare department being one of the biggest forms of income, it is a shame as to what goes on up there. Having children, I will never send them somewhere that I don’t feel they are not properly watched.

Workload, treatment of employees
collaborative and fun
working with children is always an easy way to brighten to the workplace and your day. i learned a lot about collaboration not only from my co-workers but from the campers as well.

short breaks
This company should care more about their staff and acknowledge their hard work. Pay should improve. Hours should be added. Kids are great to work with just the people you work with can be extra.

Management and pay is poor.
Fun Enivornment
I like when the parents start to feel comfortable leaving there child in my care. It's nice when the children come in calling your name and there excited to see me.
A typical work day was playing with and supervising the kids, swim, eat lunch, play with the kids some more, then dismissal. I learned how to work well with others and learn from people who are more experienced. How to follow a schedule and be responsible. Management wasn't bad but could've been better. It was a good culture for the kids. Hardest part of the job was dealing with kids who got in trouble and had to be disciplined. The best part of the job was making the kids happy and making sure they had a good time.
Working as a counselor and being apart of the YMCA program was an extremely rewarding experience. I would highly recommend. Typical day began at 2:30 PM and ended at 6 PM. On average, being a counselor includes taking care of a multitude of children ages ranging from 5-12 or grades K-6. Supervisors and management are very friendly and great to work alongside. Hardest part of the job depends on your interaction with children, otherwise this job is a breeze.

Good place to work
The YMCA was a good place to work if you are a teenager or young adult in school. The hours were convenient and it gave me the experience needed for my current job.
Fun place
Everyone is so nice and it’s a positive work environment, you grow to love the campers and the counselors work together to help each other. The job is stressful but it’s worth the experience.

Nice workplace with fun and friendly co workers
Learned a lot about dealing with the public (ex: kids, adults parents, and older siblings).
Learned to be flexible with hours and to be open to trying new things and challenge myself.
