A Great Place to Spend Your Summer - Anonymous employee Camp Starlight Employee Review

Friendly staff, amazing location, the best summer ever!

No cons that would deter me from coming back

When I was desperate for money, it was something to do for a summer.

You must be "liked" to be here ---popular kids and star athletes only need apply. If you're different in any way and don't fit in with a white, popular, rich socioeconomic background, they don't want you there and you will be made to feel excluded. The whole thing is a stage-performative, cliquey, spoiled kids but no care in the world for staff- to rake in cash. They will find a reason to fire you if they don't like you- like not socializing correctly (in the way they want you to). Then you've come from far away and uprooted everything and made this your summer plan and you just get sent home. No counseling, no redirection, no advice, just fired. Traumatic experience for me as it reinforced my negative beliefs about myself. The kitchen staff were the only genuinely kind and authentic people there. I counted down the days to leave.
