High school students or graduates
planning on going to college can benefit greatly by working as a
volunteer at a summer camp.
Summer camp internships are an enjoyable way to spend the summer.
Depending on the applicant’s college and major, it may also be a way to
obtain college credit. Whether an intern receives college credit or not,
an internship is definitely an excellent opportunity to gain experience
that will look good on any resume.
There are hundreds of camps nationwide with openings. Foremost is
finding the summer camp that matches the applicant’s personality,
interests, and goals. Some summer camps specialize in academic tutoring,
others in working with campers who have disabilities or special needs,
and yet others in extraordinary adventures. An applicant should study
the choices carefully in order to make a good decision.
After an applicant chooses the type of camp he wants to work at, he
needs to decide whether he wants to work at a day camp or an overnight
residential camp. Residential camps can be more fun and offer a wider
range of experience. Generally, they offer more college credit as well.
High school students or graduates planning on going to college can
benefit greatly by working as a volunteer at a summer camp. Summer camp
internships attract attention on college applications. Interns who
select volunteer positions at summer camps for people with disabilities
and other challenges are likely to be especially noticed. People who
extend themselves to help others often end up being helped themselves.
Regardless, a summer of working with children who have special needs and
challenges is an enlightening experience that can change and influence a
person’s life in positive ways forever.
