A Rewarding Summer with Skilled Summer
I had an amazing experience working with Skilled Summers. This year, I went to Camp Chipinaw working as the weights instructor. The process of getting placed was smooth and well-organized, and I always felt supported along the way. Cat was especially helpful—she answered every question quickly and made sure I felt confident before heading out. The role itself was a perfect fit, and it gave me the chance to grow while doing something I love. I’m grateful for the opportunity and would definitely recommend Skilled Summers to anyone looking for a rewarding camp experience.
