The Return of the infamous Brocelet maker

The American Summer camp experience. Where chaos reigns.

Before returning to the American Summer Camp life I was anxious to do so because I want to commence a career within the media industry. However being a media production student through covid took a toll upon my creative media brain. I needed to refresh and get back my motivating perspective on the process of making the entertaining content that I love.

Camp Schodack, in Nassau New York, has been open since 1957 and will probably run for 100 more years. I am incredibly grateful to have been apart of the 66th year of Camp where as a Group Leader I got to meet an immense amount of people who came to work at Camp from all over the states. This is perfect for trying to build back up my networking skills for when it comes to collaborations in the future.

Camp really brought out the best in me and put me in my element. It put my head space in my best possible way of thinking. Constantly I am able to put forward my best thoughts when it came to creativity.

Whether it being solving problems between campers, working around the videographers to maintain some level of media or performing in multiple shows for campers and guests to enjoy. I have been made to feel myself to the point where I wanted to improve my comedy.

Comedy shows are important in order to better my writing for my future films. The level of confidence I was able to gain is somewhere I don’t think I can get elsewhere.

Now as the sun sets on my adventure with Camp Schodack I have some important take ways being that I feel fully refreshed and ready to hunt down my media opportunities as well as finish of my already commenced projects.

Schodack provided the opportunity for myself to release the inner child that can recover from what was the hardest years of studying media production. The burnout is over and a new mindset has been achieved. I’m grateful for what has been given to me and I believe I used every second of the experience to the fullest. I would 100% recommend working in American Summer camps and I might even make a return potentially as the Video Activity Instructor.
