I worked as a counselor with kids ranging in ages from 6 to 16, coming from impoverished families. Each week a group of 8 campers would be assigned to a cabin that I was responsible over. Many of these children had not been out of the city before and were experiencing camp and the outdoors for the first time. Activities included a high ropes course, a climbing wall, archery, bike riding, team-building games, and more.
