Camp Freeland Leslie Case Study

The U.S. Army ran the camps, but foresters, carpenters and other people directed the work. The CCC fought forest fires, planted trees, built roads, buildings, picnic areas, swimming areas, campgrounds and created many state parks. When not working, the men socialized and had opportunities to learn crafts and skills.

My previous experiences with the Conservation Corps taught me so much. Not only did it help me learn the importance of hard work, communication, and teamwork, but it opened my eyes to many other vital skills. The Conservation Corps gave me perspective. I learned to look at people not as their stereotypes, but for the individuals they were. When I was in immersed in nature, I never felt so connected to who I am. I built life long friendships, learned to trust others even when it was difficult, and found parts of myself that I’d never seen before. I want to return to the corps because other, easier, jobs wouldn’t offer me the same opportunities to grow the skills I originally learned. I would be honored to become a Conservation Corps of MN and IA Wilderness Crew Member.

I would really enjoy the having opportunity to serve as a YCC Crew Member. In the past I have had some experience with the homestead. When I was in about 4th grade I had participated in a little play program where we had to reenact a person of our choosing. Most of the other experiences I have had are from school field trips from middle school and elementary school. Once high school had started I had joined speech club which had helped my communication skills immensely when talking in front of others, and I had also joined science club. In highschool so far I have gotten honor roll over all of the quarters with an average gpa of 3.732. Overall I would really enjoy being a part of the

“Honoring the fallen by helping the wounded.” This is Camp Hope’s motto. Can you image what soldiers go through? Soldiers risk their lives to keep us safe. How can we repay them? I believe one way that we could repay them is through Camp Hope.

On the far Northern border of Dundee Wisconsin, a small Scout Camp was founded in 1946 and a legend was born. This camp was named Long Lake, after the lake upon which it resides, and it would experience its fair share of storms and turmoil over the ensuing years. Some of its visitors only ever viewed it as a mosquito infested swamp while others would go on to call it their second home. To me however, I have always had a love hate relationship with its wooded trails and murky waters, yet I shall always cherish my memories of it in my heart. Regardless, Camp Long Lake is still one of my favorite places to visit with its quaint ecology conservation lodge, the various activities its main waterfront has to offer, and the thrills of sleeping

Camp Ketcha offers a unique environment for preschoolers to play. At their nature-based preschool, not only do they play inside with the typical toys for the little tikes, they use the outdoors to entertain their students for hours. Usually, when someone thinks of children's toys, legos, barbies, and toy race cars come to mind. But at Camp Ketcha, the children typically are more entertained by horses, gourds, and apple trees.

I wish to raise my involvement to the next level: as a Recreational Leader. I would like to join a team of students committed to the same interests as I am, and create something amazing for the hundreds of participants that have attended a Summer at Saints camp, and make

During the time of World War II, many people in Europe who were not of Hitler’s Aryan race had been held captive in concentration camps that were placed in various spots in his conquered land. Two types of camps were touched upon in the memoir. They were either death camps or working camps. Weinberg wrote this memoir in order to preserve the historical facts of the holocaust and share with others for the generations to come of what he had gone through from the ages twelve to eighteen. Taken captive in 1939, Weinberg had gone through five concentration camps such as Terezin and Birkenau where most of his time was spent and had survived. Although he almost did not survive the Death March from Blechhammer in 1945. In this touching memoir, Boy

During the last two weeks of my summer employment with the Salvation Army Pine Lake Camp, a team including myself was sent to The Salvation Army Berkshire Citadel to run a series of camps, but there was a few unforeseen complications. Our team lead had to be suddenly transferred to another team, leaving the Calgary team in a predicament. Before the issue had even been raised to the group, I was approached by the camp program director, she pulled me aside and asked if I would be willing to colead the team. I was shocked, and honored she acknowledged me, as the youngest person on the team, to be given so much responsibility. The role I had been given required myself and a college student to work together to coordinate, promote, budget, and

Before I became a camp counselor, I attended counselor training for a few days. During these days we discussed how to deal with children that became homesick, upset, or angry. We talked about how to show kids how to be comfortable talking to God and praying. Since this was a church camp we discussed how we would teach the bible study every day of the week we counseled. After the training week I had to prepare many things on my own. I prepared games and crafts for my cabin of girls to participate in. I prepared myself mentally for the task I was about to attempt to complete. The day before the camp week started I arrived at the cabin to make it as comfortable and welcoming as it could be for the eight girls that would arrive the next day. My

For 2 years I’ve work at Northwood’s Camp/retreat. I lived there for 7 weeks and throughout them 7 weeks it was a major change. High school and college students should work at Northwood’s camp because it has many things to offer. First, you're going to make good money you can use for college or other personal reason. Since you're working on camp grounds you barely have time to go off and spend your money because everything is provided for you. Plus the stores up there are cheap so you can also save money that way. Second you make everlasting friendships that would last. My first year working there I worked with people from wales, Jordan, Ireland, and England. You end up working with many different ethnic groups and ages. Finally, it looks

Camp Herzl was my home away from home for five years. It was where I first threw a frisbee, first asked a girl out to a dance, and made some of my greatest friendships. However, my experience at camp wasn’t always a perfect replica of the recruitment brochure. During my first summer at Herzl, the insecure fifth grader within me was entirely occupied with making good first impressions. Needless to say, after the first week, I was exhausted. Standing in front of the bathroom mirror, toothbrush in one hand and toothpaste in the other, all I wanted to do was walk back to my cabin and sleep for hours. As I sloppily squeezed the toothpaste onto my toothbrush, the boy next to me, who was admittedly much more popular than I was, exclaimed to his friend, “Yo, don’t be so retarded!” A fire was lit underneath me. I walked up to the boy and scolded him for using such rude and offensive language. Back at the sink, I finished brushing my teeth, while the other boys stood in silence. In

During both Smart Meter Program and Emergency Base Camp Program the budget responsibilities were assigned under my responsibility. Paul Nielsen was my reporting IT Director which sponsored the Emergency Base Camp Program. Tim Cottongin was the Smart Meter Director and sponsor of the Smart Meter Program. In both cases S1 and S2 funding details were developed and forwarded for inclusion into the enterprise budget. During the development of the Base Camp Program a business case was developed and proved by the IT budgetary group. Specific details of the strategy was developed and illustrated in a PowerPoint slides presentation. The presentation was illustrated during the senior leadership funding approval session of project being with budgets of

According to an expert, “ A lot of parents pack up their troubles and send them off to summer camp.” Maybe that is what my parents were thinking? I was at Miracle Camp in Lawton, Michigan in June of 2015. Miracle Camp in a Christian camp for anyone who wants to deepen their love and understanding of the Lord. You can accomplish all of this while having the most fun you have ever had! I went with a few of my really good friends so I got to grow closer to the Lord with some friends.
