Camp Mendocino Personal Statement

I want to be in the Leader's In Training program because Camp Mendocino is teaching youth how to live a healthy life at a young age. This camp helps the upcoming youth live in reality instead of the virtual world and ties into my overall life goal of helping Americans understand what it means to live a healthy life physically and mentally. This is important to me because I have dealt with depression and how unhappy I was with myself as a person. From the negative experience I’ve had with depression I don't want any child or teen feel like they are unworthy of the life they are living. By working with Camp Mendocino I will be helping the youth understand how to have a healthy state of mind by encouraging campers to deal with negative feelings

    Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project

    When I initially began Boy Scouts, I largely depended on my brother and his friends for help and assistance. Eventually, my brother and his friends around his age graduated, and while many moved on to serve as adult leaders, all of them eventually left for college. With this large amount of support missing from my usual routine, I felt lost for a significant amount of time, before I participated in a Philmont trek in the summer before my freshman year of high school. During the Philmont trek, as the youngest member of the crew, I felt highly unprepared due to my overall lack of experience with high adventure and large amounts of leadership; however, despite developing a blister on the first day, I found solace with my crew as they taught me valuable skills that would help me survive the journey. From their exemplary leadership and teachings, I quickly learned not only how to help myself, but also how to assist and guide others as a leader.…

    Personal Narrative: Camp Kanata

    I consider Camp Kanata a second home, I worked my first full summer as a camp counselor after junior year. That summer was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life; I learned, laughed, and cried everyday, I also created amazing friendships. Yet when asked about what made my summer so spectacular a few months later, I had little to say, my mind was blank. I cannot remember what happened a week ago, let alone what happened months and years ago. The number of special memories and moments I have forgotten about is unquantifiable.…

    Personal Narrative: A Forty-Foot Jump

    Camp is place unlike any other. It is a place that people’s wall begin to fall down and new relationships are formed. This is bound to happen when you drop 200 teenagers in the middle of the Smoky Mountains without any of their electronics. I was lucky enough to be chosen for the Project Serve team and got to see camp from a new perspective. I got to be a part of all of the behind the scenes work, but also daily interactions with all of the campers due to my job at camp.…

    Fish Camp Research Paper

    As a Fish Camp counselor I want to gain a stronger network through the entire camp and develop a bond with others beyond who I have met my first two semesters of college. I want to be a mentor for the next year freshman as they transition into college just like my DG-discussion group-parents did for me. I’d also like to develop my leadership qualities even further through the entire process. The counselors that were in my camp had strong relationships with one another and that is something I want to be apart of. I want to help the Class of 2020 in anyway I can because the counselors my year influenced me significantly and helped me transition into college.…

    Personal Narrative: My Return To Coleman Country Day Camp

    Most teenagers would probably tell you that the beginning of their adulthood was marked by having to do laundry for the first time, or being able to drive alone, or perhaps no longer sitting at the children's table at family events. But for me, it happened this past summer, when I made the very difficult decision that I would not return to Coleman Country Day Camp. To those who were not fortunate enough to have grown up at summer camp, this might not seem like such a big decision to make. But Coleman was my outlet, my second home for ten consecutive summers and spending those two months anywhere else seemed inconceivable to me.…

    NYC Ladders For Leaders: A Personal Analysis

    I would love to join and participate in the program NYC Ladders for Leaders because, I hope that as a teenager, I will gain the basic skills to act in society with a sense of responsibility, leadership, teamwork, and to have an optimistic outlook on life itself. And when on the note with that, I hope to receive more first-hand experiences with real-life situations and ordeals such as budgeting, T-accounts and such. With those skills, I can prove to everyone, including the more former generations that we, “young people” are just as capable of handling work and to able to manage with life. Of course with the necessary help and assistance of nearby friends, family members, and etc. However, I would like to persuade more into my preferred interest…

    Statement Of Purpose For NHS

    I think I should be a part of NHS because I am a well-rounded person who is seeking to do well in her future. I recognize that I do not have any leadership experience, for I have not been presented with an opportunity to lead. I have helped lead younger kids at girl scout camp in years past although beyond that my leadership roles are somewhat lacking. I hope to expand on this quality by being a part of NHS. I play three sports a year and maintain an acceptable GPA.…

    Peace Camp Identity Analysis

    Throughout the past four years, I have had many different identities to many different people. I have been a daughter, sister, friend, student, tutor, teammate, team captain, and so much more; my favorite role to play, however, has been that of a camp counselor. Since the summer of my sophomore year, I have volunteered at the Peace and Justice Center’s “Peace Camp for Kids,” a program geared towards helping underprivileged children, accepting them as they are, and convincing them that they are worthy of respect, affection, and dignity. Peace Camp has become an integral part of my identity; my experience there has been, by far, the most rewarding and influential experience that I have ever had.…

    Camp Kanata Reflection

    I was asked back to be a Counselor In Training (CIT), the second half of the trainee program, for three weeks of summer 2015. I strived to prove myself, utilizing the leadership skills that I gained during my CILT year. CITs live in cabins with the campers and counselors, gradually learning not only how to emulate the latter, but also how to become one in every aspect except title and paycheck. While the CILT program is often a Kanata go-er’s fondest memory of camp, many reflect on their CIT experience as one of the hardest things they’ve ever done. Those that come out the other side successfully are revered for their fortitude, drive, and energy.…

The majority of my work consists of college preparation with high school students, but a few times I have been able to work with middle schoolers.

    Local Project Experience

    My experience in and out of these camps will help me prepare for this role. I’ve been fortunate to be able to see camp as a participant in the West and Houston and be apart of the CGS in the West, Dallas, and ACCT region. These experiences helped teach and refine my skills overtime as I was able to experience working under every LPT member and in different positions in camp. When I was a guide in 2010 I was able to experience the logistics of camp and be able to help with a lot of the planning of content as the Skill Building Coordinator really had me use a lot of my prior knowledge in theatre to help with the content hooks. When I became a group counselor in 2012 I was able to really see camp from all the different perspectives and understand the importance of the content of camp and how to prepare for every area.…
