This summer I will be working at Camp Spearhead! Camp Spearhead is a camp for people with special disabilities and it is for anyone 8 or older. We have some men and women who are as old as 60, and others are 8 or 9. The disabilities also vary from Autism to Down Syndrome, etc., with some being higher functioning than others. It is an overnight camp from Monday through Friday. I will be a camp counselor and I will be in a cabin with about 4 other girl counselors and 10-12 campers every week. I volunteered for a week last summer and I absolutely loved it! Even though it will be very hard work, it will also be very rewarding. I cannot wait to help give the campers an amazing camp experience that they can't get at a lot of other places because of their disabilities. An added bonus is that the counselors I will be working with are awesome! We will get to help the campers participate in a lot of fun activities including a climbing tower and a rope swing. The camp also recently changed locations last summer, so the facilities are new and very nice. I am so excited for this summer adventure to begin!
