Pros

Great summer job, builds character and teaches you to work with a variety of people, in a variety of conditions. The facilities are top notch. The variety of classes offered to the campers is enough to spark everyone's interest in teaching at least one. Located on lake burton the lake it self is above and beyond lake lanier.

Cons

Long hours, low pay, and upset children. In addition you may have to preform a fair number of disciplinary procedures against unruly staff. Promotions become very political very fast based on the sheer number of summer staff going through the camp so be mindful when looking to the next year.

Pros

Its a fun job to have if you like kids and sports. It is usually in a convienient place to work, and the hours are usually flexable. Also when you ask for time off, its usually given with no questions and long as your a reliable employee.

Cons

Its not very organized or proffesionsal. (e.x. dont get paid for orientations). I personally dont get very many hours. And they dont let you clock in for things that you should get paid for. ( i have at least put in 10 hours of work that i am not allowed to be recodnized for). Also communication with some of other employees is small.
