SUP Senior Counselors

“I had the best summer experience as an SC.  Not only was I able to see how I made an impact on nine amazing kids' lives, but also I learned a lot about myself during the nine weeks.  I wish I had known about this program earlier on in college so that I could have the opportunity to be an SC again.” –CYEP SC, 2007

“Being an SC is one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had.  You not only teach the kids some math and reading, you form deep, true relationships with the kids, parents, and communities.  I have gained so much personally: I have learned a lot about racial issues and urban lifestyle, I have become accustomed to working in a professional setting and working with parents and the community, I have learned how to teach and plan lessons, I have become very capable at managing a group of children, and I have fallen in love with the kids, the community, and this form of community service.  In addition, I can tell that my work has made actual impacts on the children's individual lives.  Each one has grown in some way--some big, some smaller--and I know that much of those improvements can be attributed to what I have done at camp this summer.  To have such a positive impact on kids is the most amazing experience.  I loved it.”–MHSP SC, 2007

“It was a bigger than life experience that cannot be simply encapsulated into any single description of the experience. I've grown so tremendously over the summer and learned so much from my teaching experience!” –CHAD SC, 2007

“Do it! Prepare to work hard, be tired, and sometimes frustrated, but you will look back and it will be the best summer of your life.” –CYEP SC, 2007
