This was a seasonal summer camp position. I supervised over 20 kids ages 6-16 during an overnight outdoor summer camp on Catalina Island. The camp was an overnight so we needed to foster a safe and welcoming environment for every camper in the cabin. I organized and lead events that taught our campers about the ocean and the creatures that called our cove home. We went diving, kayaking and tide pooling on a regular basis. I collaborated with a team of other counselors to create a fun, engaging and memorable summer that campers will never forget.
