I spent a large portion of my junior year trying to decide what the best way to spend my summer would be—to go the traditional route and apply for an internship in a large city, or to spend a second summer working at Camp Nor’wester. Camp Nor’wester is located in the San Juan Islands, in Washington State, and they call themselves a “unique outdoor living experience” for a reason. Nor’wester is located on a tiny island—an island that doesn’t have roads, gets its water from a large well that collects rain water over the year, and has minimal access to electricity. While working at a summer camp is barely more profitable than an unpaid internship, it’s an experience that is both incredibly educational as well as being, quite simply, fun.

Spending the summer in a space that is almost completely “unplugged”, without access to cell phones or the internet, provides me a space to breathe and reflect. By the end of my first semester of junior year, I could almost physically feel the weight of various expectations—expectations to get an internship, to graduate on time and with a good GPA, to have job prospects lined up after graduation, not to mention have an idea of what I want to do with my life. I applied to camp with the knowledge that it would be a break from these expectations, a time without grades or e-mail notifications of the CDO’s available job listings—despite the cliché, I saw it as a time that I could legitimately make a difference.
