Build A 21st-Century Resume By Working At Camp

The Partnership for 21st-Century Learning has identified the 4 skills (or the 4 Cs) that today’s employers believe are most crucial to success in the workforce: Communication, Critical Thinking, Creativity, and Collaboration. Camp work requires you to use and hone each of these skills every single day, all while enjoying a job that gets you outside, gets you laughing and playing, and turns you into a role model for children.

But what about that internship that you want on your resume? It’s up to you to decide how your summer will be best spent, and we encourage you to seek out the experience that you will find most rewarding.
