My Job at a Summer Camp, by Charlie Rose

Every year I work at a summer camp for kids and I really enjoy seeing the children do things they never thought

they could do. Nearly all the kids know how to swim and play table-tennis before they come, but things like rock

climbing are new experiences for most. Some of them are very nervous, but after a bit of encouragement, they

agree to try and they all get to the top in the end, which makes them feel great.

The kids stay several weeks and some do miss home. You might expect it to be the really young ones who feel like

that the most but it’s actually the ten- to thirteen-year-olds. We don’t let them use their mobile phones all the

time. First we tell them they can phone home after lunch. Then when they ask again, usually after dinner, we say

it’s a bit too late to phone and suggest doing it the next day. Most children are fine in a couple of days and at the

end of their stay, it’s amazing how many come and thanks us because they have had a great time.

It’s not just the children who get lonely. We get parents who are on the phone the whole time, asking how their

child is getting on, which is quite unnecessary. Often their son or daughter will be busy, playing games or doing

something else, so we have to tell parents to ring back another time.

Some kids arrive dressed in smart, designer, new clothes and they sometimes argue when we tell them to change

into something they won’t mind getting dirty, but before long they realize what we mean​
