- This was a camp for kids and adults with Down syndrome or autism. It was a week-long camp that focused on singing, dancing, and performance-based activities.
- As a volunteer, I was on stage leading and helping the campers follow the choreography, remember their lines, and make sure they remembered what they were doing.
- There were multiple costume changes in the performance, and as a volunteer, I was in charge of my group of campers, helping them get the correct costumes on.
- This camp allowed me to form close relationships with campers, and become a mentor to several of the campers throughout the week.
- Helped with the setup and breakdown each day of the camp and after the performance.
- I participated as a volunteer for two years in a row.
