• STEM Specialty Camp Director

  • Jul 2017 - Aug 2017

  (Summer only - One season)The last week of the on-season for Camp Somers is spent running specialty camps that focus on one particular set of subjects; the STEM camp was one of the new additions for the August 2017 season and was created and run by myself. Prior to the week of the camp’s run I was tasked with producing a schedule of activities for a week of program, procuring supplies, and building a staff to assist me. Furthermore, it was left completely to me what this camp would entail and the skills we would focus on.It was directed mostly towards teaching STEM related skills and critical thinking and saw a small group of four scouts participating in activities such as coding, experimentation in physics, nuclear science, robotics, botany, and crime scene analysis.
