Copper Mountain, Colorado

I was a counselor for groups of 10 - 16 campers who came to Woodward at Copper Mountain to engage in their favorite action sports (skateboard, snowboard, etc.) Camp sessions were overnight and a week long. Responsibilities included supporting homesick children, being the first point of contact for the children when they had a problem, maintaining contact with parents, engaging campers who were not as excited as some others, enforcing camp rules, being friends with the children and hanging out with them while still being professional and enforcing rules when necessary, reporting daily to my supervisor with problems and things that were going well, and always having an amazing attitude!

Volunteered as a mentor for an elementary school child who I met with for one school year, two hours per week. My mentee was a 7-year-old, second grade boy from a low-income single parent household. This helped me learn how to patiently work with kids in a school setting. I provided a positive role model for him as well as helped with homework, was available to actively listen, and helped my mentee achieve his goal of getting off his behavior chart.
