During the long summer holidays, many children go to holiday camps. Emily Harris wrote about experience looking after children at Kingfishers Holiday Camp, in Salisbury.
This summer will be my third time to be at the camp here, but I've been to Kingfisher camps all over Britain. I've made a lot of friends through this summer job. It's perfect for teenagers me. After all, summer holidays are great, they are long and they can get boring! We are busy doing this job all the time and we get paid!
I help the sports and activity teachers, so I time with different groups of children, and by the end of the week, I usually know most of them well.
The best part is when the children try new, like boating or climbing. I love seeing their excitement. It's really enjoyable and it makes you feel you are a good job. Also when they play a team game, and the other team wins, instead of feeling unhappy, we teach them tohands and say ＂Congratulations!＂ to the winners. This gives me a real feeling of success.
As I said before, it isn't just the who make great new friends! Working together so closely, even for just a few weeks, the helpers at our camp become really good .
