“This is my second year as a camp counselor. During the school year, I worked as a gymnastics instructor and came back as a counselor this summer. I have been coming to this Y since I was around 3 years old, mostly for gymnastics and swim. I wanted to become a counselor since I knew I liked working with kids. I have babysat before and helped with my younger sister and cousins. Plus, I was on the Gymnastics Team at the Y and we would help mentor the younger girls. I also needed something to do over the summer and a way to make money. As a counselor, I like seeing the kids have fun. One of my favorite days is ice cream day, which is like a reward for them at the end of the week. The kids are also silly and have a lot of funny stories and jokes. The Y is a friendly place to work. Everyone here is so nice. I’ve never had a bad experience here and whenever you need help, there’s always someone willing to assist.”
