Pros

Co-workers are from all over the world. Everyone is very adventurous and positive to be around. The job itself is one of a kind in regards to being outside all summer and working with the campers.

Cons

Very strict rules, low pay, and little appreciation. Camp management will squeeze everything they can & then some from counselors. You will no doubt end the summer feeling frustrated and burnt out. It doesn’t have to be that way either, if they allowed more time off and hired more people (they definitely have the money to do so). If they can’t do that, then the pay should be double, if not more, than what they currently offer (no exaggeration).

Pros

Great community, everyone felt like friends I just haven't met yet

Cons

If you are not already in college, you get half your paycheck as an end of year bonus, so that if you get fired they don't have to pay you as much. I had to leave camp 2 days before camp ended to start my college orientation and I was told "you are allowed to leave but you are absolutely not getting your bonus".
