What Can I Expect From Being A Kickapoo Counselor?

Working as a Kickapoo counselor is different from any other job that you will ever have. It is more than a “real job.” Here are a few things that you can expect:

• To live with and teach classes to children 24/7 without much of a break.
• To learn leadership and communication skills which you can apply to any career path you seek in the future.
• To work as a member of a team of about 25 other counselors who share your goal of making Kickapoo a great place for girls.
• To make friends of all ages that you will never forget.
• To miss your friends and family from home.
• To be really, really tired but still be able to function at a high level.
• To make a profound difference in the life of a child.
• To experience frustration in dealing with at least one challenging camper.
• To rescue your screaming campers from a scorpion or centipede or convince some other hero to do it for you.
• To feel a strong sense of pride when “your” camper learns something new or is willing to try something new because of you.
• To miss camp when you are gone and want to come back next year!
