“My son took more responsibility for his job.
He learned to say ‘no’ to things because he
had work and that he still had show up to
work even when he didn’t feel like it.”

CAMP
COUNSELOR
Being a camp counselor may
seem like all fun and games,
but it demands self-discipline,
personal responsibility and confidence. Counselors are the first
ones awake and the last to go to
sleep. They are responsible not
only for themselves, but also for
their campers, who are almost
fully dependent on them. Working as a camp counselor is a great
way to learn responsibility and
patience, build self-confidence
and realize the importance of
being a positive role model for
younger kids.
