Circus Camp

During high-school summers, I worked as a Camp Counselor at Circus Camp. As I worked my way from Counselor in Training, to Jr. Counselor to Counselor, my responsibilities grew. I began simply teaching juggling and unicycling to campers, but eventually could also teach and spot acrobatics and aerial trapeze and silks. My other responsibilities included checking equipment safety, inventory, setup, teardown, keeping track of small rambunctious children, and entertaining them throughout the day with improvisation, shows, and comedy.

At the camp, each week would end with a camp-wide show in which campers would perform. I also helped design, plan, build props, and perform in these shows.
