ESF Camps Reviews

I worked at ESF Camps full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Nights and weekends off, fun co-workers, fun work (if you like kids), and great experience and networks if you want to be a teacher.

Cons – Low pay, micromanaging supervisors, and so many rules. Focus is on avoiding liability, not the kids

Advice to Senior Management – Let the counselors have a little freedom!

I have been working at ESF Camps part-time for less than a year

Pros – LOTS of activities offered, high energy from everyone, kids are very excited to be there, the directors at this camp knows how to run a camp, family flings, and literally so much more (rock wall, plays, art, engineering, photography, sports, swimming pool, quest challenges, etc. etc. etc.) If you like working with kids, this is the place to go. I've worked at a summer camp before, and it was no where near as exciting as this one.

Cons – Hot, hot, hot, and humid summer days spent partially (sometimes mainly) outdoors. Days can seem long and draining. OK pay.

Advice to Senior Management – Management works well. I have zero complaints for any of the directors or even staff.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

I have been working at ESF Camps part-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Children love the end product. Staff is fun loving and energetic

Cons – Management is terminally late on deliverables. Organizational culture is cult like. Repetative propoganda leads to a blind employee loyalty. Diversity is dismal at best. Owners exploit their human capital for company gain. Management is entrechened and change adverse.

Advice to Senior Management – None! They already have wise counsel which they ingnore

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
