Rec PROGRAM

This past summer, I was the Creative Director at my Summer Recreation Program, where I work. I created the summer theme calendar for all the parents and kids to have. I made special activities and crafts that were all related to the themes that week.

Each day, I would create a new board based on the activities that I created and planned for the day. This would be set up where all the kids are signed in and are able to see what the day will bring. Kids would get super excited in the mornings, seeing what was planned for the day.

On the last day of camp, I designed and set up an obstacle course for all campers to complete. The course was inspired by Tough Mudder, but adapted to fit the space and equipment available at the park. To make it developmentally appropriate, I created two separate courses tailored to different age groups in the program. This video highlights the course for the older campers. Throughout the challenge, if participants were unable to complete an obstacle, they were given the option to perform a fitness alternative such as jumping jacks or push-ups to keep them engaged and active.
