Abstract

This internship reflection details my experience as an intern for the Dean of Campers at Camp Phoenix, a summer camp in Rhode Island serving children across a wide spectrum of developmental needs. Over the summer, I gained skills in conflict resolution, behavior planning, and teamwork while also developing patience, adaptability, and problem-solving abilities. My role extended beyond direct work with children to include management responsibilities, providing valuable exposure to non-profit operations and scholarship funding. This internship deepened my understanding of child development, and the importance of supportive, unplugged environments.
