“Working at wildwood
helped prepare me for teaching in a culturally diverse
classroom. It also helped me with time management. If you're
going to be a teacher, you should work at Wildwood . . . just for
experience. “

"Working at Wildwood
was an amazing experience. I was able to meet new people from
all walks of life and was able to learn so much about myself in
the process."

Being a part of
Summer Learning at Wildwood was an invaluable experience for
me. I gained a deeper appreciation of the natural world by
teaching a "hands-on" lesson to group of kids who have limited
exposure to science and group dynamics. I have an entirely
new understanding of ecology, even though I studied it in
college, from working with excited 5th graders gathering
crayfish, tadpoles and water plants to create our own mini pond
ecosystem. It is so rewarding to watch kids' faces light up
when they complete an adventure challenge successfully or when
they find a really neat rock. I also learned a good deal about
myself, pushing the limits on my comfort zones and my own
notions of leadership. I know I am a better listener, a better
mediator and better teacher because of my experience as a summer
learning counselor.

"Wildwood is a great place to learn about yourself and for me
it was a chance to learn about the lifestyle and struggles kids
from Kansas City go through. There are not many
opportunities in life where you can truly help affect the life of
someone else, but Wildwood is definitely one of those places."

“Work was never actually 'work' at Wildwood, rather it was
something I wanted to do! From singing camp songs to teaching
kids how to fish and of course building lasting friendships with
counselors and campers alike, my Wildwood experience was
priceless and something I will never forget! I loved this job!”

“Wildwood is a place
where you get to work with kids, enjoy the outdoors and make new
friends. You learn the important things in life like spending
time with children and preserving wildlife. I loved the feeling
of making a difference in a child's life while having fun at the
same time. Wildwood is a place for everyone to enjoy.”
