  J.J.E. Summer Day Camp

  Jun 2010 - Jul 2012

  Playground Recreation Leader

  Summer day camp that last 6 weeks in June and July. Most of the time we were outside. Number of children varied from 15 to 30 and there was at least 2 counselors per group. Facilitated activities and eating times from 9 am to 3 pm such as sports and free time to run around. It was also our job to deal with infractions to rules and follow through with the consequences with each child. Paper work went along with the consequences as well as incidents where the child would get hurt. Each year the counselors had to teach a dance to the group that went along to a song which depended on a set theme. Show less

  Band Volunteer

  Frequently go in and help the band director during the marching and concert season. During marching season I have helped run sectionals with more than just percussion but also stand in as a percussion tech at many competitions. During the rest of the school year I go in periodically to help with anything I notice in rehearsal and many times have been asked to help tune timpani.
