Why Former Summer Camp Staff Will Be Your Best Employees
Our society is continuing to face a pandemic that we never imagined we could experience. Sadly, this means that summer camps around North America have started to announce that they are cancelling their summers due to COVID-19. I’ll say this with full confidence - camp counselors will make the best employees.

I began to think about the thousands of staff members who have had their summer plans abruptly changed. Now, I want to help and I ask you to join me.
