Summer Camp Counselor
Speculator, New York, United States
I worked at a girls camp named Tapawingo during the summers. I learned how to balance a lot of responsibility and be punctual on a full schedule. Furthermore, I had the opportunity to work closely with many different people and campers. I learned about leadership as I worked with campers and other peers and had to maintain a rigorous schedule. I had responsibilities early in the morning through late evening with very little break. Additionally, I needed to be well versed in any different activites such as sailing, fitness, wilderness survival skills, waterskiing, and many other activites. Not only did I need to have a comprehensive knowledge of the subject matter, but I needed to be able to teach these skills to the campers of many different ages.
