Work and Travel in Maine this Summer!

From a Google Review: You might think that someone's best summer of their life was not one spent working, but for me it was. Perhaps it was because not a single day felt like work-- I guess that old saying about not working a day if you love what you do is true after all. Camp Laurel is a break from reality, for staff and campers alike, set in a gorgeous area on a pristine lake. Nowhere else allows campers to try out the incredible activities offered here, from the aerial park to sailing to horseback riding to Chef Camp and everything in between, while forming such strong bonds with other campers and their counselors. The facilities here are amazing and well-maintained, as well as staffed by great counselors. Over the summer, it was awesome to watch the kids build tons of confidence, learn lots of new skills, and get to learn how to live away from home and deal with more responsibility. As a new member of the staff, I was thoroughly surprised at how the much the directors and other returning staff care about us, and how much effort they put into preparing us for the summer at orientation. Jem and Debbie are the best! The Laurel community is so loving and connected; everyone knows everyone at camp. One of my favorite memories was walking back to my cabin in the dark after an evening off and hearing six or seven kids call out “Miiikkeyyy!” and “Hi Mikey!” as I passed their cabin. I thoroughly enjoyed my summer of being a “dad” to the 90 Apache campers, of waking up happy everyday, of enjoying yummy buffets at every meal, and I definitely will be returning. Whether you are looking for a summer job or a place for your kids to spend the upcoming summer.... you have found it :) UPDATE: second summer was just as amazing. so inclusive, fun, special, and once again I tremendously miss everything about camp. yes, I miss working. hoping to squeeze in a round 3!
