So as the title says, I'm a first time summer camp counselor! I explain where I get the idea for the blog in the first night of training post! (I did this a little backwards!) I am a "rising" college sophomore. I am studying Math and Education, to hopefully end up teaching in Middle School (but it's part of the secondary education degree). I started rambling about the craziness of my double major and how I would love to have 3 different minors! I also tutored grade 6 students in math over the year, yeah I strongly believe in giving kids a good background and they'll be successful!
Besides always wanting to be a counselor, it's the perfect way to continue working with kids! The only thing is, I have not been to summer camp since I was in grade 6. Even then I only went to the small town camp and then a school camp, where it was scheduled activities. They were totally opposites, but I enjoyed them both. Now I'm lucky enough to be working at a camp that incorporates the town camp idea of lots of fun outside, while also having different electives for the campers!
I can't wait for camp! More later!
**Oh and technically I'm a "Group Leader" but I am going to
say I'm a counselor because I really always wanted to be a counselor! (Also, I
have the duties of a counselor and more responsibility so I think of my job as
being an 'advanced counselor'! By modus ponens, or some other discrete rule
that I never really learned, I can drop the advanced part. Therefore, I am a
counselor. --I'll probably explain this later, hopefully.)
