Being a summer camp counselor set me up for LIFE, but HOW exactly? Be Flexible Things rarely go exactly how you plan when dealing with 100+ kids and dozens of daily activities. Being able to entertain through different methods on the fly with limited supplies is an art. Energy Matters It’s only a bad day if you let it be, and kids pick up on your energy like a bloodhound. If you aren’t excited about what is next, why should they be? Making a glass-half-full perspective your default spills over into every other aspect of your life. Faith (in myself) Without realizing it, you’re leading groups of people and making automatic decisions based on information and instinct. In this process, you build trust with both others and yourself. I could go on for ages, but you get the idea—those summer experiences manifested into skills I now carry in my personal and professional life. P.S., if you’re a former camp counselor, you know how easy it is to spot another in the wild!

Unveiling the Heart of Summer: The Essence of Being a Camp Counselor Let's Talk Summer Magic... You know those summer memories that stick with you forever? Often, there's a camp counselor behind them. These folks are the unsung heroes who transform ordinary days into adventures of a lifetime. Thinking of Joining the Ranks? If you've ever toyed with the idea of becoming a camp counselor, know this: it's more than just a summer gig. It's about crafting stories, sparking imagination, and guiding young minds. And in doing so, you're not just shaping their summers; you're shaping their futures—and yours, too. The leadership, empathy, and resilience you develop are gold stars on your life’s resume. To the Employers Out There When you spot "camp counselor" on someone's resume, you're looking at a diamond in the rough. These individuals bring unparalleled skills to the table—leadership, adaptability, problem-solving—you name it. They’re seasoned at turning chaos into harmony and making magic out of the mundane. Parents, Take Note Considering camp for your kiddo? It’s handing them the keys to a kingdom of growth, learning, and fun. Camp counselors are at the heart of this experience, guiding your child through their journey of self-discovery and friendship, all while wrapped in the safety of a nurturing environment. The Real Question... Isn't it remarkable how camp counselors weave themselves into the fabric of our lives, leaving imprints that last well beyond summer? What if we embraced the value they bring to our children’s lives, acknowledging their role in shaping the next generation of thinkers, leaders, and dreamers? #CampMagic #SummerHeroes #FutureLeaders #CampCounselorLife #ChildhoodUnplugged #SummerMemories

This past weekend my 8-year-old kid and I went to a summer camp fair. 25+ summer camps in a room encouraging parents to learn about their program. Over this week, I want to share tips for summer camps on how to have a successful encounter with a family at a fair: TIP #1 Initiate the conversation! Our favorite camps in the room were the ones that initiated the conversation with us. It might have been as simple as complimenting my kid’s dress or saying "hi! how are you?" With the camps in the room - 20% initiated the conversation with my 8-year-old. - 20% initiated the conversation with me. - 60% did not initiate the conversation. First impressions should be communicating a warm, welcoming presence. This will help build trust between the camp and the family. Trust is one of the most important factors families consider when looking for a camp.

Anyone else love summer but hate making arrangements for summer camps?! 🙋♀️ ⏰ Why do most summers camps run 9am-3pm or 8am-5pm? Even the 8-5 schedules don’t allow time for parents to commute to work. 💸 Most summer camps are pricey. The ones that aren’t sell out in the blink of an eye. I have literally experienced people lining up at 6am for in person summer camp registration at 8am. 👵🏼 Parents have to go to multiple locations/ camps for pick up/ drop off when age groups are split up at different locations. Also what if you just don’t want your teen sitting at home watching tv all day? There’s hardly any options for them. 📊 Anyone want a peak at my summer camp spreadsheet? Because this is a real thing we had to do to figure out all the dates, times, ages accepted, closures, etc. #workingmom #career #careeradvice #momlife #goals #positivevibes #positivethinking

💼 In the spirit of Labor Day, let’s talk first jobs: How much did you make? My first gig was a summer nanny job at 13, watching 3 kids. My mom made me a deal: save half for a school trip to Europe, and she’d cover the rest. $1,100 later, I was off exploring Europe before high school even started. Not too shabby, right? My first W2 gig? Then came my first W2 job—$4.75 an hour at a bakery in Laguna Niguel, CA. No license yet, so I hoofed it 2 miles each way. Character building, to say the least! 👇Now it’s your turn: What was your first job, and how much did you make? #LaborDay #FirstJob #CareerJourney #careeradvice #medicalsales #salestips

The other night at practice, one of the girls on my daughters soccer team asked me what my job was 😅 Her: “What do you do?” Me: “Why do you ask?” Her: “When I first met you, I thought you were a camp counselor. You are always talking about being a good teammate, working hard as a team, cheering each other on…and you have fun with us” Me: 😂 Me: "Well, actually when I was a teenager, I was a camp counselor. I do believe in building strong teams and being a good teammate. Those are the best kind of teams, where you support each other. I’m glad that you recognize it." Her: "So what do you do, anyway?" Me: "I work for a recruitment company. I help companies build great teams." Her, completely serious: "That makes sense." (...runs off to do the next drill) Your passion is your passion. Whether it’s at work, at home, or coaching your kids teams, I guarantee if you lean into it, others will notice.
