Empathy Under Pressure:
What Working With Kids Taught Me About Leading Adults A typical business student dreams of landing a big bank internship, or a placement at a Toronto private equity firm, so you can imagine the amused looks I received when I proudly told my friends that I’d be doing my co-op placement at a summer camp.

In the summers of 2023 and 2024, I returned as a staff member, working as the Health & Wellness Coordinator. Today, I am a registered nurse working with pediatric patients, labouring moms, and neonates. Working at camp as the H&W coordinator is a unique healthcare-related role that taugh

‘Ello I am Slate from the South of England and here are a few of my favourite things and what I was never expecting from working at a summer camp, through the year. Friendships that span across the seven seas and the channel too! The shared experiences and the special moments all help to bring everyone a little closer.
