Amazing experience, but tiring

I had an overall amazing time with EDUCO last summer. Going to different camps each week, with new students and workbook levels, definitely challenges you, in a good way. When being placed in camps, there's naturally an element of this being a lottery, i.e., students, staff and host families each being different. However, there's a lot of goodwill and a good 'vibe' towards the camps from people you work with. I was a little bit older doing the camp (33), but just about managed it energy wise.
The EDUCO mentors are very professional and try to look after you. You can Whatsapp message them at any point during placement.
As a possible small point of feedback to EDUCO, I think that some pre-orientation tasks might help participants prepare so as to avoid overwhelm during orientation. This could include learning about EDUCO methodologies, as well as encouraging successful applicants to learn 1-2 camps songs or games beforehand.
