Camps are a great way to spend your summer. I've had the pleasure of working at a camp for people with disabilities. The camp that I work at is called Horizons and it has been around for 75 years!
There is so much great history behind this camp in general it is completely unbelievable. I have gained so much knowledge and made me realize that I have truly found my passion of what I want to do in the next chapter of my life.This place is so magical that people come for years on end and they keep coming back year after year.
When a camper arrives they are so happy and then once the time comes to an end they don't ever want to leave. Everyone has a different way of coming in through the gates. Some people come through the sunroof or out the window to wave at the people cheering them in. Some campers never want to leave so they are here for the entire summer, which makes every employee very fortunate to keep doing what they do every year!
This camp is people's second home and you make friendships with people you never thought possible. There has been multiple marriages between people who have met here at this very camp.This place is a breath of fresh air that I never thought I needed until now. Working with the people I did and learning so much about the campers along with everything I've learned has been an incredible experience that I could not thank everybody enough! This truly has been the best summer of my life and I don't know if any other Summer can top it!
