NYS Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD)

Camp Counselor

June - August 2018 • Gansevoort, NY

What I liked

I enjoyed the chance to work with people from all walks of life, counselors and campers alike. It was an amazing opportunity that allowed me to grow as an individual and help me to cement the ideas of what I want my future career to include.

What I wish was different

That this wasn't my first summer working here and that it went on longer

Advice

Don't be afraid to take opportunities that scare you. I was so nervous going into training week, but come the actual first day I knew that I belonged there
