Executive Director Kyle Olsen from Camp Moraine in Beverly, Massachusetts shares his thoughts on the benefits of being a camp counselor. Beyond the fun of campfires and outdoor adventures, being a camp counselor offers unique opportunities for personal and professional growth. In a summer camp experience, one will find themselves in a vibrant community where with opportunities to develop essential interpersonal skills, lead with empathy, and navigate team dynamics with creativity and grace. During camp, every day brings new challenges and the chance to thrive in uncertainty, teaching resilience and adaptability that will benefit any career.
