Vacation Camp
What’s changed in camping since my first summer as a camp counselor in 1998? Not as much as you’d think.
20 years as a camp professional seems like a long time to our counselors who are in their early twenties! But, believe it or not, the camp experience hasn’t changed as much as you’d think since I started working at summer camp in Florida when I was 15.
From my perspective, camp experience could be define as « a unique atmosphere created around and for balanced and mindful child development, in all of its aspects : physical, social and emotional. Camp integrates recreation as a learning tool. »
Not as much as you’d think.
These are only a few short examples from my experience. In my opinion, times change but the camp experience continues to serve youth and provide a unique and fulfilling work experience for people across the globe, at American Village Camps or elsewhere!
