Personal Narrative: My Experience At Bear Creek Camp

Those activities were to volunteer and help watch some kids in a program. I learned lots of things in this program. One of the biggest things that I learned was to be patient. That is because without patience you will not help, but you will make things worse. A characteristic that I learned about myself while I was involved in the program was that I am very cooperative. I figured out that I am very good with communicating with little kids. This was very important for the program because if you didn’t have good communication skills, you would not be a good and helpful volunteer. I wanted to get involved in the program because I felt that it would be a good way to see how to help people. I also wanted to see the environment of helping people and what it takes to

We leave Fort Kearny and we are going to follow another giver called the Platte River for 170 miles which is a long way Lauren has been dying from her blisters on her feet but my wife hasn't been as bad, so Lauren has been taking seats and basically shifts with my wife. Jimmy and I don't have to worry about that because we don't have tight boots. On the way to the California. Rossing we have seen many different things such as pieces of wagons, dead animals from the storm and even worst but we have tried to block those thing out of our head and get through this

This summer I will be a CIT (counselor in training) at Camp Cherry Valley that is located on the island of Catalina, right off the coast of Southern California. It's a really nice camp with an incredible staff, and this was one of the first things that I noticed last summer when I got off the boat that takes you from the mainland to the island. The week that I spent at the camp with my troop was as a senior patrol leader. As soon as I got back from camp I knew that I wanted to be part of the same staff as last year. The first step I needed to do to go to Camp Cherry Valley was to submit an application online write about why I believed that I qualified and was capable of doing the job. When they received my application and saw that I had already

As we met and tried to discussed our up and coming group presentation, we tried to figure what we were going to do. As we tried to figure out a solution to our problem we begin to think. We went over a number of questions in our heads. Such as, what will align with North Carolina Essential Standards for 6-8 grade science, BIO 2302 course outline and PEA Mission? Then I thought to myself, what would I want to do for an engaging activity if I were in a 6th, 7th, or 8th grade science class. Each meeting we started to ask each other important questions. Do we want talk about ecosystems, rocks, life science, etc? Will that be engaging enough for the students? Should we do something dealing with building things?

My mom, my dad and I had made our way down to Bishop to visit my cousin and her family before hiking. Afterwards, we bade them farewell and drove to Boundary Peak. The way up was a gravely, rocky terrain that would barely qualify as a road. Our Jeep still has faint scratches that a few branches left on the side doors as we drove up. Parking in a flat, dirty area, we had finally made it to the trailhead of Boundary Peak.

Our class was grouped in clans of eight to nine students. These groups were varied so that we weren’t paired with the people who we usually hang out with. We participated in events that challenged us both physically and mentally. Some of the more physically demanding activities included an all day hike and a set of challenge courses to push us to try harder. Events like the night hike and the blindfolded activity improved us mentally. We also got to do fun events like playing games and have a bonfire. The best part of our trip to Westminster Woods has to be the blindfolded

Three summers ago I arrived at the sunny shores of Camp Lake Hubert. It was my seventh summer and I was going for the highest award in sailing. Nervous to meet the new sailing director who I would be working closely with over the next eight weeks. I started the long walk with my friends down to the sailing dock. We did not go sailing on the first day. We stayed on shore and went over parts of the boat and played get to know you games. Once the activity was over I went over to her to introduce myself and talk about my award. Her name was Steffyy she was 5”2’ and from Liverpool England. During free swim, we talked about what my award was going to entail and got to know each other. As the session went on I was completing requirements at a quick

We went over and got out life jackets. I was a little scared because I didn’t want to get stranded out there in the big lake. I had a feeling we would be fine though. Besides it will be fun, I thought, right?

I spent part of my summer in both 2014 and 2015, providing the children at Camp Impact, with an escape from their disadvantaged reality. The experience of working with these children, has provided me with a valuable perspective, and a new lens through which I see the world.

I have always wanted to ride a roller coaster ever since I was a little kid. After a while of asking my parents to go to Cedar Point they finally said “yes.” Eventually we went to Cedar Point and that’s where it began.

One summer during the World War at War Camp Community Service, I was in charge of a playground in West Virginia.

Students enjoy Adventure Recreation because they go on field trips.Starting this year one of the most exciting and fun classes is PE adventure rec. because you get to go on field trips and learn about new things. Some of the activities students get to experience are challenge courses, skiing/ snow tubing, kayaking and golf.Many of the students like to go on the field trips because of the different activities offered, are able to get out of school work, and get to see friends. Each of these activities teaches students different lessons and skills that are useful and help students build sportsmanship.

Additionally, I learned the importance of team building activities among a classroom. Elements of the program that I observed that I want to incorporate into a program of my own includes physical and mentally challenging activities for students to complete as a team (this is based off the high ropes course). I believe that student learn a great deal of responsibility, leadership, and group skill when completing team building activates. Challenging actives encourage student to set personal goals and then strive to reach those goals; also, it teaches students about failure, an important lesson in life. I would not specifically avoid any of the activities that I encountered during my visit at the BSF; however, I would strive the make sure that my lessons and activities are adaptable to meet the interests of all my

A tangle of emotions encompassed me as I walked toward the library to meet my new family for the week. I did not want a replacement family, I wanted my own family back. On the first day of Character Camp, a group composed of ten strangers combined to form a makeshift family. Each person had something unique to contribute to our group, “I don’t have a uvula!”, “I lived in Norway for two weeks!”, and “I have a van full of watermelons!”, formed a unique bond between us, turning our makeshift family into a real family.

On November 4, 2016, a few of my classmates and I traveled to Camp Twin Lakes in Rutledge, GA. We were scheduled to be there at 5:00 pm. Our supervisor was Chelsey. We learned that Camp Twin Lakes changed their name to Camp Stars for the weekend. The camp was a Bereavement Camp. Chelsey gave us a tour and took us to our cabin. My classmates and I all slept in the same cabin.
