Camp Leaders vs Camp America for waterfront roles at traditional private sleepaway camps
I’m halfway through a Camp Leaders application for a waterfront role, ideally sailing.
Family friends went to camps like Laurel and Takajo, so I’ve heard a bit about the more traditional private sleepaway camps and wondered what they are actually like to work at.
My main concerns are food, sleeping conditions and how staff are treated. I don’t mind sharing a cabin with campers. Pay is not really a concern, I’m mainly doing it for the experience, social side and travelling afterwards.
Does Camp Leaders place people at many camps like these, or does Camp America have noticeably better connections?
Also, which camps are known for decent staff accommodation, good food and a social staff scene? Do people normally go out on nights off, and how much time off do you realistically get?
