Taylor

Taking the campers out on the lake, doing things they'd never usually have the opportunity or support to do, was the greatest feeling. Seeing them feel like they can do anything was the best!

Lucy, Camp Northwood NY

Spending four summers working at an under-served summer camp has made me grateful in many ways and taught me the importance of creating opportunities for all children.

Hollie, YMCA Camp Copneconic MI

Lifeguard training taught me so much and really pushed me out of my comfort zone. The difference between when I started camp and left camp was unimaginable and I am so grateful for the experience.

Harrison, River Way Ranch Camp CA

Camp America gave me an understanding of responsibility that I hadn’t experienced before. By the time I came home, I’d gained valuable leadership skills to take into future careers.

Sam, Camp Lakota NY

Best summers of my life! Working on a special needs camp is the most rewarding and unbelievably amazing experience, that I will continue to recommend to everyone!
