Hey, My name is Tyberius, I'm 20 years old and from Eau Claire WI. I worked at an overnight summer camp, Camp Manitou, for three years. I was in charge with the care of 10-12 kids, ages 6-15, for a week. This included ensuring they were fed, brushing their teeth, sleeping learning, etc. Doing this for most of two summers (my first summer was spent in the kitchen), I came across all kinds of messy situations; severe allergies, homesick/sad campers, bullying, bad listeners, just to name a few. I improved a lot in handling stuff like this, acquiring experience from my coworkers and time on the job. Despite seeing the worst of some kids, as for many this was the longest they had ever spent away from their parents which was a lot for some to handle, I loved the job. I have yet to find something in life more Read more rewarding then helping the next generation grow and have fun. The hardest part of working as a counselor was only having a week to leave a positive impact on my campers. I did my best and helped to give life long memories and lessons, but the opportunity to work with a child or children for an extended period of time is something I am looking forward to. Having a deeper impact on their academics, social skills, and overall growth is important to me. [ Here are a few examples of my experiences if you would like to read more about me ] 1. I had a camper with a severe bee and peanut allergy and either me or my co-counselor had to be near him with an epipen for the whole week. 2. Kids don't get any contact with their parents though out the week and I had a very sweet camper who was homesick during and after drop-off. On the second day we found activities, battle ball specifically, that he really enjoyed and we played that a lot as a cabin for the week. Then at pick-up he was super anxious for his parents to come and they seemed anxious as well to see how his week went. From what they saw at drop-off and pick-up they assumed he had a poor week despite me putting forth a lot of effort to make sure his week went well. Unfortunately, I didn't do the best communicating his experience, which went well for a first time camper, and the parents left thinking their kid had a bad week. They later got in touch with me and I was able to explain to them that he did well, which taught me how important communication with the parents is. 3. I have a 16 year old brother which has given me countless experiences. 4. Finding or cooking food for many picky eaters.
