Last summer, working as a first-time counselor in the Catskills was an unforgettable experience! From the start, I was welcomed into a vibrant community passionate about creating a fun, supportive environment for the campers. Leading activities like hiking, swimming, and arts and crafts was incredibly rewarding, especially watching the kids gain confidence and make new friends. The bond I formed with fellow counselors was amazing—we shared so many memorable moments. By the end of the summer, I had grown personally and professionally, and I can’t wait to return for another season!
