Summer camps

What is a goal to you? A goal is a result or achievement toward which effort is directed. The three tools that have helped me the most were positive, clear, and attainable. These goals can be helpful during a summer camp. A few years ago, I ran into a situation where I was involved in a kid’s camp. It was my first time leading a young group of girls. The entire situation was challenging to me. The ultimate goal of the camp is to make sure these girls had a good time and would like to come back the following year. The goal seems reasonable, but there were several challenges along the way. Additionally, there were times where we had to mentor to the younger girls, which was a positive affect because it helped them get more confidence and courage…

Ever since I was eight, I would travel to an all girls camp, during the summer, called “The Summer Camp”. The trip was an 8 hour death ride from Manhattan, New York City to Washington, Maine. The first time I arrived, I hated it, because campers could not obtain electronic devices, as mentioned before, Maine was far from my home, and lastly, my comfort zone was an urban, fast pace city, not the woods. Additionally, the camp had schedules to follow. Breakfast started at 8 am and ended at 9:30 am,…

of ADA guidelines impacts the process of camper registration. For example, it is not technically legal for a camp to put campers with disabilities on a wait list. In some districts, they are not allowed to put a permanent cap on the capacity of campers for each summer camp because of this.
