Today was my last day at Camp Royall :(( After setting up the Courtyard Art for campers, I worked on organizing the Arts and Crafts activity with the other Activity Directors. The theme for the day was “The Circus” which means crafts included cotton candy painting, lion masks, and clown coloring sheets. Another activity that day was boating and after helping get out the boats I actually got to help lead the activity! I got to tell campers and their counselors what each station was and play with campers at the bubbles and corn hole stations while they waited for the boats.

After lunch, I helped with the evening acitivity which was set up to look like the circus to follow the theme. The playground was covered in a parachute to look like a circus tent and circus music was playing while activities included a “flying trapeze” or a zip line and a face painting station. This was by far the best activity I got to help out with! After cleaning up the amazing activity directors I have been working with for the past two days presented me with a going away gift.

I am so grateful to have been able to volunteer at such an amazing place! I will definitely be going back to volunteer this summer and hopeful will go as a counselor in the future!
