  • Completed RISE Youth Leader Training.
  • I volunteered for one week at Camp Rivendale, which is a summer program providing recreational opportunities for children, adolescents, and young adults experiencing disabilities.
  • Supported camp staff by proactively gathering supplies, cleaning up when the camp day was complete, and entertaining campers by role-modeling activities, including crafts, games, and art.
  • Provided emotional support for campers experiencing distress.
  • Responded to a situation where a camper attempted to run away from camp. I followed the guidelines pertaining to contact by interposing myself in the escape route, which delayed the camper until an instructor arrived.

  • Received training from the head of the organization over the course of four days.
  • Student leader for a five-day outdoor school for sixth graders.
  • I headed a cabin of six boys during most of the day and all night. During the interim periods, I led a mixed group of different sixth graders through scientific activities, such as collecting data based on observation, and going on nature hikes.
  • I recognized a camper's panic attack and responded, following regulations both by taking another camper with me, and by delegating the remainder of my cabin to a nearby student leader. I then walked him down to the nurse's office, where I stayed with the camper at his request.
