Fine Arts Counsellor
French Woods Festival of the Performing Arts
Hancock, NY
Jun 2014 - Sep 2014 (3 months)
I taught a variety of art skills, including woodwork, metalwork, photography, ceramics and leather work, to campers aged between 7 and 17. I worked individually with each camper to create a programme for them, based on their skill level. This improved my ability to multi-task, my creativity and my logical thinking.
I was also a bunk counsellor for 13 girls aged between 12 and 14, responsible for their physical and emotional well being. I worked with my co-counsellors to ensure that their summer was enjoyable, which improved my flexibility and adaptability to a range of different environments and situations.
