Hi! I am a college student who loves arts and crafts, playing games, reading, and working with kids. I have been a summer camp counselor for two years, going on three. I've worked with ages 6-12, primarily 6-7. If you would like a reference just let me know and I can provide one from this job!
From my work I have had to act quickly during stressful situations which has allowed me to build my problem solving abilities.

I enjoy connecting with each kid individually, and my group as a whole, and watching how they grow during each short summer.
Please feel free to reach out!
