Camp Europe - Summer Camp Counselor

I’m a huge fan of camping and I’ve done this for a long time, but it was my first time in Europe and I think it was an amazing and affordable experience! I had a very good time and got to learn many things and meet some amazing people. Can’t wait to go back!

Coming back to camp as a returnee is such a cool thing, cause you already know how everything works but it still surprises you in a good way. You get to meet new people as well as your friends from the previous years, and you feel more confident in being a role model for the kids. After spending more than three months at camp (in total), I can say that I consider camp people my summer family - you get to create very strong and meaningful bonds. In addition, it's a great way to visit new places around Europe, as you can travel around with friends during your week off. Don't hesitate, just go to camp and you won't regret it. See you there next year!

My summer at camp started off as a big adventure. An adventure to a mysterious place I’d never been to before and where I knew absolutely nobody there. After surviving training week and running some activities by myself, my confidence grew massively. My imagination was free to run wild with the kids’ and I quickly felt like part of a huge camp family. There were some days I had to spring out of bed after having had very little sleep and still show up for the campers. This was hard but it was impossible to not smile in the company of the campers. They were hilariously silly and never failed to make me laugh. I was sincerely heartbroken when I had to leave. In just a few weeks I’d made so many crazy memories and found friends for life.
