Raninu is an amazing camp, kinayna hara. I’m going there this year as a counselor, iy”h (shucks, I finally revealed my gender!), and my sister is going there as a first-time camper. I’ve been there for three years. Also not hashkafically my level. Think on-the-knee skirts, and juicy brand socks and sweatshirts. You could call it new-yorky, but there are tons of out-of-towners (such as I). The camp rav lifts the kedusha level of the camp by miles. Also, the staff is friendly and fun. Activities are amazing, trips are amazing… what else do you want to know? I’m pretty sure waitresses go on trips.
It’s very much worth going as a waitress. You don’t work that hard. Waitresses get up in the morning to prep the dining room, and they only work during breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so they have the rest of the time free. There’s a lot to do even when you’re not working – pool, lake, basketball, archery, baseball, volleyball, tetherball, canteen… Tips are great, especially if you have large bunks at your regular tables. You’ll have some days off. There are shops within a drive-able distance.
