What Staff Say

My 5 years at Green Acres have been some of the best times of my life. Working with the kids is so enjoyable. Nothing is more rewarding that getting a hug or smile from a camper. It makes all the hard work worth it. I have great memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

This year was, for both of us, our first year at Green Acres, and our first year working at a camp yet we feel like we've been here forever. No only do you work, but you make lasting friendships in the process and have an AWESOME SUMMER! See you next year!!

Nothing beats working at Green Acres Day Camp. I look forward to working each day like an enthusiastic camper excited for a day at camp. I can only speak highly of the camp's general organization, staff and environment. It is a great experience not because it's the typical thing to say working at a camp, but because it's the truth.

The past 4 years of my life have been truly enriched because of my time at Green Acres. I have met people that have become my friends - both at and outside camp. But socializing aside - I have learned so much here. All the activities teach me something new each year. I have an entire room full of wonderful keepsake crafts. What's more important however, is knowing that I made my campers' summer into the most unbelievable time.
Good Friends, Great Kids, Sounds right to me!!!
S.R., Senior Counsellor
We had a great summer at woodworking watching the kids make amazing projects. There are a lot of fun staff rec events at Green Acres which gave us the chance to meet many new people. There is a very wide variety of activities here that we all got a chance to try throughout the summer. We are looking forward to next year!

I am a first year staff at Green Acres and so far this summer has been a great experience for me! The kids are great and all the staff are really nice. Everybody has made me feel welcome and I have met a lot of new friends. I am looking forward to next summer and hope it will as a good of an experience as this summer has been!

Green Acres is a place where you get paid for meeting new people and having fun with great kids. It is also a place where you can learn new things and use your creativity and ideas in an open atmosphere. Working at mini golf, I get to teach the kids about the various aspects of the game such as putting, driving and golf terminology. The best part of my job is seeing the kids improve and their smiling faces after a match well played.

Green Acres is a wonderful experience. I used to go to an overnight camp for 11 years and a day camp is much different...but is a good way. All of the staff here are really nice, especially the head staff. Everybody treats everybody with respect...which is one thing that I really respect. I really enjoyed working here this summer.
M.T., Swim Staff
Working at Green Acres was an adventure. I gained a lot of experience this summer. As a swim staff I helped mold campers into swimmers. I enjoyed watching them progress. I wish I had gone to this camp as a kid because it looks like a load of fun.
P.S. Staff Rec's are a blast!!!
L.D.R., Swim Instructor
At camp Green Acres I've had a lot of fun!!! I've met people that have remained my friends for the last 4 years which I have spent at Green Acres, both in and out of camp. My experiences here have been nothing short of incredible. Being at Green Acres has also helped me develop important life skills like communication and enhanced my people skills. Thanks for the great times.

Working in a specialty area is a wonderful experience. I was given both support and guidance to create a summer program that was fulfilling, exciting and fun! What I like most about working at Green Acres is that your hard work and effort is always appreciated.
