Why work at Mud Camp? Just ask our former Camp Counselors!
Mud Camp was a great opportunity for me to build my leadership skills while also enjoying my summer with friends. My experiences at Mud Camp not only help me everyday as an Engineering Geologist, but played a large role in being hired in the first place. Mud Camp is an opportunity that can bring success in the future career of anyone that is ready for the best and most rewarding summer ever!
-Jim House , Mud Camp Counselor 2015-2020
