Pros

The philosophical ideologies of how best to address the needs of the children consisted of engaging and fun activities solely based on student interests.

Cons

Job duties/expectations were "blurred." I was hired as an Assistant Site Manager, but was required to work as a teacher ("camp counselor") over the summer. At this site, "The customer (child) is always right." The children were allowed to be disrespectful to staff, and staff was not allowed to share misbehaviors of children with their parents.

Thank you for your comments. We are particularly proud of our child-led learning approach and this has been something that our employees and candidates have been excited about as well. We are working toward further clarity of roles to provide better understanding of job expectations including the roles of all our staff during summer camp. It is important to note that camp is different from our school year program and there are times when staff take on additional or different support roles to adjust to the enrollment and program needs. We encourage staff to share any concerns or questions regarding engagement with children in their care with the leadership team or Human Resources so that the situation can be addressed straightaway.
