You spend 24 hours with your workmates and participants and you create such strong links that go beyond any other kind of job. At the end, there is a sense of family among us. I also love the fact that working in a summer camp is so rewarding; all the effort is worthy when you see people laughing, having fun or expressing their gratitude for making an unforgettable summer.
