My typical day
The majority of the time I am dedicating to this internship
is in the form of executing the camps that we plan. Times outside of camp are
sporadic in nature, one day I can be working on recruitment, while the next I
can be writing curriculum. So, when I think of a typical day, it is easier to
describe a typical day at camp.
A typical day at camp starts with breakfast as a group. All
80 delegates enjoy breakfast together in the campsite’s cafeteria. Then, we
raise the American flag for the entire camp. The delegates then proceed to
their first set of workshops. Workshops vary in size and curriculum. Some
involve the entire camp while others are held in smaller groups. Around 4
workshops take place each day.
In addition to the structured workshops, parts of the day
are spent in smaller discussion groups. Delegates reflect on their experience
within these groups and enrich their understanding of the material we covered
by discussing it with their peers. This also provides a more intimate setting
where delegates can share their personal experiences with one another,
reflecting how the topics relate to them personally.
It sounds like the days are very structured which is normal in a camp setting. Sounds like the work you are doing is very curriculum oriented. Does the curriculum change every camp or do you have standard curriculum that you use?
