A magical community
by: Kate Meraki - AustraliaProgram: Camp Augusta: Make Magic This Summer in Northern CaliforniaCamp Augusta is one of the best places on planet earth. Through camp, I’ve made lifelong friends around the world and learned skills that I carry with me every day. It’s hard work but the most fulfilling. They support every individual and foster a safe community with a growth mindset. Small cabin sizes allow for you to connect on a deeper level with campers. Yummy, nourishing food. A beautiful setting with waterfalls and forest in the mountains. An abundance of play and fun. You’ll never be bored here and happen upon some true magic.
A Life Changing Place of Culture, Community, and Personal Growth
by: Matthew Malecha - United StatesProgram: Camp Augusta: Make Magic This Summer in Northern CaliforniaI joined Augusta about a year after graduating with a major in secondary education and biology. I had worked at several other summer camps and found them to be fun jobs that were memorable, sociable, healthy, and useful for my future (in many ways!). I wasn't expecting to be at Augusta for more than a summer, though the philosophies/ideas/community/programs of Augusta were so incredibly different from what I had experienced elsewhere as a camper or counselor and they had a significant impact on my life - personally and professionally. There is SO much to learn there, and most of the things I found more useful and powerful than what I had learned through my entire undergraduate degree. The community they created was mature, passionate, creative -- it was amazing. While it was hands down the hardest job I had had in my life, it was the most life changing and fulfilling, and when I left I immediately knew I needed to return to counsel again; there was so much left to learn and do.
