As a camp counselor, you get to be a role model, with a real opportunity to make a positive impact on children’s lives; you get to boost your resume, since many recruiters see former counselors as great communicators, leaders, team players, and creative thinkers; you get paid to be fun, as you show your campers how to make crafts, learn new games, and have a good time; you gain interview material, gathering answers to future questions that start with, “Tell us about a time…”; and you will learn so much about yourself, as you hone your leadership skills and discover your inner creativity.

Have your next party in the park! As we head into spring, why not host your event at one of our park shelters? |
