Worked here as a counselor in summer 2025 and can I just say that this was the most imperfect job experience I’ve ever had in my life, quite frankly. So if u just graduated hs or in college trying to find a job next summer, here’s my best advice as someone who quit at week 8:
• be prepared for anything, and I literally mean anything - you could have someone beefing with you out of the blue, have a code brown by one of your kids, or even an amber alert out of them too. In fact, I had already had a parent complain on my third day for verbal abuse towards my group so that’s how badly you should be prepared • this is both a physically and emotionally demanding job so try to stay in the moment no matter the time of day. • if you can, I highly encourage you to go to camp functions and bible studies (if your core does them) - it’ll help you out w/meeting new people • you’ll also have something called “late camp” where you basically stay after hours to babysit children you don’t even know which is pointless • on top of that, we have community nights once every week where the whole staff must dedicate 5+ hrs of their evening to stay and talk about life lessons shared from speakers of Christ ^^ and these two events are not a choice and you’ll get in serious trouble for not attending (unless u have a rlly rlly good excuse for doing so) • as for why I quit, it was high key too much for me to handle. John’s Creek is literal Emirati weather, the kids were too hard to maintain as they’d always lose the #1 thing a camper loses - their water bottle, and every week there was always some “twist” to work that would get me in trouble no matter how big or small it is. It’s happened so many times that I actually made a list on apple notes including all of them. But overall, this is not the kind of job for every1 and I will not be back next year because I need to find an internship towards marketing.
Hope this helps!...

She was made to sign a contract that states that she knows marriage is made to be between a man and woman and was forced to sign it in order to keep her job. The contract also stated that the employees could not be homosexual or be in gay relationships.
In addition to this, my partner was unfortunately made to work after hours without pay. The company would make her clock out and then have her continue working. Payment was also minimum wage.
I’m deeply saddened and disturbed that after 5 years, my partner still talks about how awful her experience was working at this camp. We just drove by, and she informed me of more disturbing incidents that she endured, and I felt that someone, anyone, had to say something. I’m not usually one to leave bad reviews for any place but I would hate for someone to have the same...

Their day will begin with a greeting reminiscent of a soul train line complete with joyful music, high fives and balloons. And, it just gets better from here. Thoughtful young adults engage your child all day and there's nothing like making new friendships and bonds. I'll leave it there but chances are at the end of the day your child won't want to go home and when they lay down they will sleep like a rock dreaming about the adventure and goodtimes they...
