"These kids are going to teach you things you didn't think you would learn at a job like this. You really do take away something new every day from them, which I think is really important."
-Amanda, Camp Palmer camp counselor
"You get to see the development in each single kid over the course of the summer. It's only a couple months, but I think of how much progress they've made since the beginning of summer, and that's the kind of stuff that makes the Rec a really fun and rewarding place to work."
-Sophie, Camp Palmer assistant director
We all work together and we all make sure the kids are having fun. I think it's probably one of the most fun ways to spend my summer, if I had to work."
-John, sports coach
"It's a very self-rewarding job. You get to have these relationships with the kids. They're there and they expect you to be there. When you're not there they ask, 'Where's this person?' You feel really cared about. It's very very self-rewarding."
-Gabby, Camp Palmer camp counselor
"The kids say some really funny things that make me smile. They're are awesome to be around."
-Kyle, sports coach
"I think working for the Rec Department is a great place to start working. A lot of people understand you are younger and starting your work career and they are a little more lenient when you double check policies or double check with your supervisors."
-Ben, Plamer play crew Super Slide attendant
"I thought I knew a lot about kids, and I realize I did not. I feel like I've grown a lot in my child caring skills."
-Abby, Camp Palmer camp counselor
