The Westover School summer camp program, open to students entering 6th-9th grade, offers academic and creative classes, as well as classic camp activities!
As a day counselor, some of my daily tasks included assisting with instruction during daytime classes, emotionally supporting campers, supervising and ensuring the safety of campers, and helping to organize and participate in all-camp afternoon activities!
As the camp theater teacher, I worked to create and carry out a daily class schedule for my campers that involved working as a group to write and practice a short play to be performed at the end of each session, learning theater terminology and acting strategies, and playing fun improv games.
As a student ambassador, I worked with the admissions department to lead campus tours for prospective students and their families. Additionally, I represented Westover School at various fairs, open houses, and other events where I socialized and answered questions.
Just Tumble, located in Shelton, CT, is a cheer, gymnastics, and ninja warrior gym for young athletes.
As a volunteer, I organized and cleaned the gym before and after classes, sanitizing equipment before and after use. I also assisted the youngest age group of campers by leading warm-up exercises, demonstrating and playing games with the kids, setting up obstacle courses, eating lunch with the kids, providing other support as needed.
