Week 3 – Camp Creativity

Camp Creativity is finally here! My third week at the McConnell Arts Center was spent helping direct the first session of our summer camp. Camp Creativity enrolls forty children between 7 and 12, and rotates them through writing, acting, dance, and various visual arts classes. As I was in charge of the counselors, I oversaw parts of the check-in and check-out process, and led a few counselor activities with the kids. I was also the MAC staff member who was in charge of overseeing daily pool time, so I led the campers and counselors to the pool each day. After the first day of camp, one of the high school counselors told us she was unable to complete camp, so I filled in for her on Tuesday and part of Wednesday, while we found a different counselor to fill her position. Once the new counselor was hired, I stayed with the group and ran the new counselor through procedures and the daily schedule. While Week 3 was slightly hectic due to staffing changes, I loved being able to spend time with the kids and watch their final performance!
