Recommended: Describe your experience at camp

In the summer of 2015 I attended Camp Four Winds Westward Ho on Orcas Island, Washington. This camp is a non-profit organization that offers two month-long sessions for campers ages 10 to 16 with staff positions starting at age 17. This summer I worked in the barn for one month-long session and 10 days after that. I got up at six-o'clock every morning and I finished my work at the barn at six-o'clock pm. After I usually helped with camp dishes until 9 at night. I felt accomplished in working hard because I felt like I was making a difference to make the camp run smoother. Though after awhile it was challenging to even get up in the morning due to exhaustion, I persevered through it and proved to myself that I have a lot of willpower. I enjoy

    The most meaningful and challenging experiences in my life have been through sports and the 4-H club. They have instilled the values of perseverance, confidence, and teamwork within me. I feel that my peers and others could learn valuable life lessons through participating in these organizations. They are not just clubs, but a guiding light for life. For example in sports I have had the opportunity to play on both losing and winning teams. This has given me a different perspective of looking at things. I now realize that even if you fail or lose that is no reason to give up, you still have to get right back up. Just realize your mistakes and errors. Then come back the next time, mentally and physically, ready to meet the challenge. To often in life youth and adults alike fail at something and automatically think that they cannot do it, and give up. Instead of just pushing themselves to run another lap, lift another set, study for another hour, or learn another theorem. Imagine a world if the early American settlers had given in to the British, if the North had given in to the South after the first loss of the civil war, or if Michael Jordan had given up after being cut from the team in high school. People just need to learn to have perseverance and believe in themselves. 4-H has been a series of stepping-stones for me. When I first started out at age four I was shy and afraid to do things that I had not done before, but now I have blossomed into a confident and outgoing young man. I no longer fear getting up in front of large groups and speaking because of the experiences I've had in public speaking events. In addition, 4-H has given me the chance to develop myself as a leader. Over the years I have held various leadership positions on the club, county, and district levels. Also, 4-H has given me the chance to go into the community and help people by leading youth in workshops, assisting the handicap and elderly, and also learn from what others have to teach. In both of these organizations I learned the need for teamwork. For example last year my football team went 0-11 and the main reason because of that was we were not a team.

    As a leader, I am constantly trying to improve myself. I believe many valuable lessons can be learned through experience, and overcoming daunting, demanding situations. Because of this philosophy, seeking out challenge has become something that defines me. My search for personal improvement has lead me to many places, one such place was the kitchen of one of Canada’s largest summer camps, Muskoka Woods. In this kitchen, me and a team of no more than four at a time, would wash dishes for over a thousand people. The hours were long, the work was hard, the pay was measly, but at the end of the day, I learned the value of resilience and a positive attitude. This activity enabled me to practice supporting a community, as well as utilizing teamwork,

  • Personal Narrative: My High School Cheerleading

    400 Words  | 1 Pages

    Over this past summer, I had the opportunity to volunteer with my high school cheerleading team’s mini summer camp. The mini camp is geared toward students entering in grades kindergarten through eighth grade. The high school cheerleaders teach them a dance, sideline cheers, and cheerleading games. There were also opportunities to have snack time and make their own cheer bow! This was a wonderful experience to help behind the scenes more because I really got a true sense about how much planning and effort putting together this camp had required. I helped my coach by editing her agenda for each of the three days. She said to look for any “gaps” or if something could be done in a better order.

    When I returned to Hidden Hollow forty five weeks later, I had strong prospects of creating an experience for the campers as good, if not better, than my own. I was assigned a cabin consisting of 10-12 year olds, an age that entails frequent homesick children. I spent every chance I had with homesick campers, trying anything to make their week enjoyable. I talked with as many kids as I could. I involved myself in activities; such as basketball, foursquare, and cards. At the end of the first week, I realized my hard work paid off. I was chosen by the head staff to be awarded counselor of the week out of 34 worthy candidates. I had finally accomplished what I set out to do--I lived up to my

    This was a two year course to learn how to be a youth leader for children aged 9-15. During this programme, we covered mental health issues, bullying, social problems, abuse and how to deal with these issues if they arose during the residential camp. In a 3 week camp last year, I planned an activity about the Israeli - Palestinian conflict. As this is such a sensitive topic I had to do extensive research in order to produce a balanced point of view. Being a camp leader meant that I was in effect loco parentis for the children. This was a huge responsibility as I did have to deal with a number of sensitive issues. From this experience I learnt communication skills, how to use my initiative and developed my leadership skills to a whole new

    A little over a year ago I was approached by the youth pastor at my church and was asked to help out with an active youth program. I immediately said yes. I didn’t mind the idea of investing my time into this program considering I was once attending the same youth group when I was in middle school and loved it. The program consisted of playing, singing, and studying with middle school students every Wednesday night from seven o’clock to nine o’clock in the evening. It was a bit different than I remembered it to be but the next year and a half would be no less memorable.
