During my time working as a counselor at Camp Of Champion, I've had the incredible opportunity to play a significant role in the lives of children while also teaching them valuable skills. As a counselor, my responsibilities go far beyond just overseeing the kids; I have been entrusted with their safety, well-being, and personal growth. I created a nurturing and supportive environment where campers can thrive, build lifelong friendships, and gain self-confidence. I did this uniquely through my love for art. I taught kids how to draw one another, and as well make arts and crafts that had a hidden message for kids about friendship, kindness, and compassion. It was immensely rewarding to witness the kids' growth, both in terms of their personal development and the specific skills they acquire during their time at camp. Whether it's teaching them teamwork, leadership, or outdoor skills, I take pride in being a part of their journey. My experiences and accomplishments at Camp Of Champions have not only shaped me as a person but have also allowed me to make a positive impact on the lives of the campers I've had the privilege to work with.
