If what you are trying to cover is room and board, get a job that provides it. Freshmen are usually required to live in a dorm, but get an exception. It won’t be the ‘freshman experience’ but it’s better than not being able to go at all. Types of jobs you could get: houseboy/girl at a frat or sorority, or at least a hasher to get meals; houseparent relief at an assisted living facility for disabled young adults/teens; maintenance at a church or similar facility; babysitter to someone who needs night coverage; take care of an elderly person/couple andshovel, cook, do the yard work. My sister’s friend traveled a lot, was gone every weekend as her husband lived out on a ranch, and her children went to full time daycare, but sometimes she needed someone to pick up the kids from daycare and put them to bed, and she gave free room and board - her ‘nannies’ were all college kids, they got a nice room and the condo to themselves every weekend.
If you can’t do it first year, live in the dorms and plan on being an RA for room and board in future years.
Borrowing the money isn’t the only option. You can’t have it all. You can’t work at the camp and expect to just borrow what you need. Think long and hard about the camp and how much it is costing you to work there.
I think if you can figure out a way to pay for room and board for this first year, you’ll be okay. Sophomores and up often live in much cheaper housing, eat for less, figure out cheaper books, have some cushion because of a long time job.
