IN THE SUMMER OF YEARS 2012-2017

During the summers of high school & college, I worked as a camp counselor with The Roeper School for Roeper Summer Day Camp. Typical duties included organizing activities, ensuring children safety, offering emotional support, greeting new campers, and implementing camp rules. I also helped to provide high-quality educational and recreational opportunities and enjoyable experiences for camp participants. Along with that some additional tasks were as follows:

• Facilitating and creating lesson plans for daily activities.
• Organizing and leading various small and large group activities
• Ensuring the cleanliness of the site.
• Assisted in maintaining accurate program records, including incident reports, logbook documentation, and daily attendance.
• Knowing and understanding all emergency procedures associated with the camp program.
• Recording and tracking camper’s dietary restrictions/allergies and ensuring that the meals/snacks are distributed to them.
