WHY SPEND YOUR SUMMER AS A CAMP COUNSELOR?

Summer camp is a special place where children and adults come together to form a unique community.  Rim Rock staff have summers to remember for the rest of their lives.  We encourage a fun, supportive and accepting environment. 

“Camp Rim Rock is an amazing place to work and live. I can't believe how fast time goes when I'm at camp, and how slow the time goes in between summers. I see campers and staff growing up and developing, whether they stay 2 weeks, or the whole summer. It's a place where you wake up in the morning glad to be there, and excited to see what the day will bring. It's a place where I feel at home, with a family around me, and friends that will always be there, wherever in the world I find myself. I would never have believed one place could change a person so much, but I see it in myself, and I couldn't hope for better"

" "There's no place like home..." is how I've come to feel about Camp Rim Rock. In my past two summers, I feel as if I've found my place there. You always feel like you're needed and are making a difference whether you're aware of it or not. It's not just the kids you have a ball with and become somewhat attached to, your fellow counselors are probably the most significant factor in your time at camp. I've made some of my best friends at Rim Rock, who I know will be around for many years to come. Working at camp isn't like any other job. Where else can you dress up as a Flintstone, celebrate Halloween in July and play with horses in the West Virginian sun all day, and call it "work"? I can honestly say that the environment Rim Rock is set in has taught me more than any employer, university or book could and has had a huge impact in becoming the person I am today!"

“CRR became my second home:  they are my big family, all my sisters!  This was the best decision in my life!  I never forget the camp:  my friends, the ponies, the hills, and the Cacapon River.  I can’t wait to return and do my job!  I miss the morning barns, the picnics, and all the fun I had at camp.  Best camp for the girls and best camp for the staff!”

There is an important overlapping of duties and responsibilities in the Camp Rim Rock staff.  This overlapping cements the supportive and open team work environment.

“Since I'm from Sweden the summer of 2010 was a big adventure for me. I learned so much about the American culture and both from the kids and counselors who were all eager to tell me their stories. Every week we worked together as a big family. All the fun stuff and activities gave me the perfect balance between being a responsible role model for the kids and actually doing all the fun stuff you never get to do as an adult. By that I mean dressing up as King Louie from the Jungle Book or singing songs like a crazy person while riding on trail. Now I'm only waiting for the summer of 2011 to begin!"

- Miriam Franzen, 2010, First Summer at Rim Rock
