Camp Brosius:
Leadership Development Camp
I spent one week in Wisconsin during the Summer of 2023 at Camp Brosius building leadership and teamwork skills. We were placed with a group of other students and each day we completed challenging strategic tasks that required teamwork, communication, leadership, and patience. We additionally took time to overcome fears at a high ropes course. One example is when our group had to get to the top of a tall wooden wall that had no way of climbing it, we had to strategize and help each other to the top and make sure the person who would be the most capable of completing the task unassisted went after the rest of the team. This activity also required empathy towards those in our group with a fear of heights. I most greatly improved my skills of being a team player through these challenges.
Ability Fitness Clinic
For one of my courses, I planned and instructed exercises specifically for an adult who has Down Syndrome for 6 weeks. This experience improved my confidence in working with individuals with Down Syndrome and expanded my knowledge of the different modification types. For this, I made lesson plans each week with detailed full body exercises, measurement plans, and modifications.
Group Exercise Video
For one of my courses, I worked with 3 other students and we put together an exercise video. We created the exercise plan along with use of music and tempo. We recorded the video and coordinated who would be instructing and when. I gained experience with how an exercise video comes together, working with a team, and giving cues.
