Camp Counselor
Girl Scouts
Acworth, GA
06.2003 - 08.2003
- I lived on-site in either the cabins or tents with the girls, depending on the age group I was with during each camp session. Each camp session was either 1 week or 2 weeks long and the girls ages were 7-14.
- My department was arts and crafts, where I would teach them how to do different crafts each day for their allotted time for that center.
- I also ran the archery department, where I would teach them safety and how to properly shoot an arrow into the target.
- I would be with the girls from the time they got up for breakfast to the time of lights out, but I would also be on call if they woke up for any reason.
- I would help with mealtime in the mess hall, singing time before meals, and any kid in my unit who had any medical issues or was homesick.
- Facilitated daily activities, ensuring a safe, inclusive, and fun environment for campers of diverse backgrounds.
- Oversaw daily operations of assigned cabin groups, ensuring adherence to schedules and camp rules.
- Documented individual progress toward meeting their book goals. Each girl would have a book of all the areas from which they could pick during their camp session, and would have different goals that they could work on toward badges back home with their Girl Scout leaders.
