Make friends, connect with young people in a professional environment with a deep history of progressive summer camping, hone your teaching skills and explore Maine! Hidden Valley Staff describes the meaningful professional summer experiences they've had during a summer at camp:  "This summer has been fun and deliciously paradoxical. I've been brought back to my own childhood and yet this summer's experiences make me feel older, wiser... better equipped for life." "I became better at taking charge of solving problems and looking to myself for answers rather than relying on other people" "I feel like I grew as a teacher and counselor. I think that my skills in counseling grew tremendously as a result of working with young people." "Your compassion and patience with your employees and campers is something I remember every day." "I loved working in such a caring, educational, lively environment for both staff and campers."
