One thing I love about the Girl Scout camp where our girls have gone through counselor-in-training and wrangler-in-training programs, and have then become counselors and wranglers: all this led to career decisions for 2 of our daughters. Because of their camp experiences, our oldest got 2 degrees in recreation management and our fifth is majoring in equine science. Our others have had good jobs working there that look great on resumes!

Yay for the GS. My daughter never was a counselor but enjoyed being a camper both overnight and day. By the time she was old enough to CIT and Program Aide, she was selected for Governor's School which used up most of the summer. When that was over she was a Congressional Aide on the Senate side, did a mini-internship for an international NGO, and finished up council hours for some awards. Somehow she squeezed in August Cross-Country Practice and babysitting. I don't know where this child came from!
Now my son LOVED BS Camp! He wants to go on one of the High Adventure Camps when he is older. The 14+ boys are doing the Northern Tier trip this summer.
