What separates us from our competitors from a camper's perspective is that we stay positive. Making mistakes in English is a part of the learning process and errors are never pointed out in a negative way. Our counselors are nice, encouraging and funny!
What separates us from our competitors from a parent's perspective is the high-quality childcare that we provide. Camper safety and well-being is at the heart of our company's mission and values.
What separates us from a seasonal employee's perspective is that we use humour and creativity in the learning process. Often counselors are surprised that they are "paid to be silly".
