Review for Summer Camp Inc, Bridgton, ME, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

As a former counselor at The Summer Camp, let me just say that whenever I think about working at a camp, I always revert back to my time at TSC. From the counselor training sessions, to the readying of the cabins for the campers, to bus rides from NYC with the girls, to the rigorous yet exhilarating and most memorable camp sessions. It was a joy and privelege to work at TSC. It may not have been one of the wealthier camps financially, but it was the wealthiest at heart. I went home know that I touched the life of a little girl who came to camp withdrawn, but went home with hope. Or another girl who was selfconscious, but when home conscious that she mattered. I went home knowing the staff and myself, although EXHAUSTED AT THE END OF THE SUMMER, would turn around and do it again!!! Almost 10 years later, I want to say thank you Tracy St. Onge for affording me the opportunity to make a difference in those little girls lives, and forever be changed myself!!!
