May 9,2017
The first day of my internship, I had to start setting up events and sending out emails to parents about the upcoming events. it took about an hour to set up all of the camps and sending out emails to all of the parents about which camp was about to start off the summer. After working on the computer, some of the employees needed some help maintaining the park. Before my shit end, I made sure to help out at hedges park. May 10, 2017 There was not that much to do around the office because we got everything done the first day I was there. So they wanted me to go help around the park and make sure everything looked nice and presentable for the people that go to the park. The first thing I had to do was make sure all of the trash was picked up and pick up all of the weeds. After all of that, I went to go make sure all of the bathroom were clean, but first I power washed the bathroom, so the toilets and floors were clean. May 11, 2017 For me it was a short day. All iI had to do was make a flyer for the equestrian camp. At first making the flyer was tough but then I looked at last year’s flyer and had a better picture in my head. it took me a little while to finish it but it turned out great. After making the flyer we had to print them out and send them out in the mail to all parents that sign up their kids. The flyer just had all of the information on what to wear, the date & time, and what age groups had to go on certain days. May 15, 2017 As soon as I arrived in the office I had a list of tasks. I did everything on the do list because both of the supervisors went to a meeting in the morning. They wanted me make sure to add all the new people who registered for hero camp and the equestrian camp. I had to put everyone's name and age on excel, also including the amount of money they sent us in the mail. When I got done with that, they send me to the pool to start helping out. We have to make sure to pool is cleaned and ready to go. The first day the pool opens is May 29, 2017. May 16, 2017 Not much to do in the office beside updating hero camp and equestrian camp. A couple of more people that wanted to join, so I had to put there name in excel and check off that they paid the full of amount. Then I went to Oakley Park to make sure all of the trash was picked up and made sure all of the bathroom are clean for the people at the park. When I got done with all of that, I made sure to go help out at hedges park with the pool. The pool needs a lot of work and with only a short amount of time. May 17, 2017 Everyone had to go to the pool because it needed a lot of work. My job was to wash the inside of the pool with the power wash. it took a long time to just get a little section of the pool. It is crazy how much work a person have to do to clean a norman size pool, but cleaning a big pool for the public to use is harder than you think. After I finished my part, they send me to the office to update hero camp and the equestrian camp. May 18, 2017 It was a short day. First thing I had to do was make sure all of the camps were updated. Next was to make all of the equipment for sand volleyball at hedge park. The reason why is because next week we start women's volleyball and co-ed volleyball on Tuesday night and Wednesday night, so we had to sent the volleyball nets and make sure all of the balls have air in it. May 19, 2017 Today was very interesting because the supervisor and I were interviewed for one of the radio stations at Bailiwicks. I’ve never been so nervous for an interview before, and we were just talking about the park and when the pool will be open. Then they asked questions to me about the football team and when were they moving conference. After we got done with the interview, we had to rush to the pool just to make sure everything is cleaned up. May 22, 2017 We had a board meeting and we discussed about what is happening around the parks in Tiffin and talked about the budget. It was a great experience being involved in a board meeting and now I am prepared for the next one. When the meeting was over, they sent me to go clean up the park and help around the pool. The pool is almost clean and it is going to be a great feeling when we finish it. Afterwards we went the office, so I could update the all of the camps and starting creating a new camp for baseball. May 23, 2017 Today is the first day for women's volleyball and everything went great. All of the equipment was ready to go. My job was to keep score and made sure teams did not fight with each other. We had some teams talk trash to each other for a little bit but we had to tell them to calm down, if not then they automatically lose the game and next game. Every team plays each other twice, playing a total of 3 games. May 24, 2017 One of the supervisor taught me how to do stats for last night’s volleyball game. So when I got to the office in the morning, my goal was to finish the stats from last night volleyball game and go back. The reason why is because we have another volleyball game and it is co-ed, which means men and women could play on the same team. So far, nobody started any drama and everyone had a great time playing. Same thing like women's every team plays each other twice, playing a total of 3 games. May 25, 2017 On my do list for the day was to start the stats from last night game and update the hero camp, baseball mini camp, and the equestrian camp.so far the hero camp is full and I can not wait because I am one of the camp counselors. Also, the baseball mini camp is going to be awesome because teaching kids how to play a sport is fun. After I got done with all, they sent me to help out with the pool. May 26, 2017 The focus for today was on the pool because in a couple of days the pool will be open. So far we finished cleaning the everything and now all we have to do is just put water inside both pools. For the big pool it should be done by Sunday morning or night, then the little pool will only take a day to fill up. Very excited for the pool to be open. Especially all of the hard work everyone has been doing cleaning up the pool, but I know in the future I will never own one. That is just my opinion because of the hard work you have to maintain it. May 29, 2017 Very exciting day at the park! So far both pools are filled with water and it is the opening day. Never be excited for opening day because of all the hard work everyone put in. Now none of us do not have to worry about waking up in the morning just to go clean the pool. it is great seeing families and kids getting along and having fun at the pool on opening day. After all of that, I had to make sure everything was ready for womens volleyball tomorrow. All of the stuff was ready to go and excited for tomorrow. May 30, 2017 Arrived at the office early today because everything has to be done updated for hero camp and the baseball camp. So it took me about thirty minutes to update everything for both of the camps. The reason why is because we had a lot of new kids joining us and I wanted to make sure I left a little early because of women's volleyball is tonight. Women's volleyball started off great tonight but towards one of the team started to act rude to me and some of the stuff member. All because one of the stuff gave the other team the a point instead of them. So we had to calm them down and fix the score board. May 31, 2017 Today my focus is just to finish that stats for women's volleyball because there is another volleyball game tonight. Completing stats is very difficult sometime but it is also great to learn how to do it. Doing the stats took half of my day doing them because of all of the calculation and everything has to right. Another great night for volleyball. Nobody was arguing and none of the teams were rude toward us stuff member. But I had to wake up early finish up the stats from tonight's game. June 1, 2017 Busy morning so far because of the stats and updating hero camp. Today is the last day for all of the kids to sign up hero camp and the baseball mini camp. The reason is because on Wednesday (June 5, 2017) is the first day of hero camp and the baseball mini camp. As soon as I finished the stats from last night game, I wanted to double that I have everything for kickball tonight. Kickball went great and it was the first time for me being an umpires. it is insane that a lot of people hate umpires, it sucks making calls because everyone thinks they are right. Also if you make the wrong call a whole team will hate you. June 2, 2017 Today I have to finish the kickball stats , which are easier doing then volleyball. After that I had to print out some stuff for hero camp and print out the roster for the baseball mini camp. After I got done with all everything, I just hung out in the office until it was time for me to leave since I already finished with I had to do. Before I left I made sure everything for hero camp was organized. June 3, 2017 Today is going to be a short day because we got everything done with all of the camps and tomorrow is my day off. I made sure everything we need for camp is already set up. Also I had to make sure all of the ipads are charged because that is how the parents are going to sign them in and sign them out from both camps. It is going to be fun and a great experience being a camp counselor. I get to teach about baseball in the morning, then in the afternoon I get to create activity for kids. June 5, 2017 Today was fun! in the morning I got teach kids how to play baseball and all the kids had fun doing the drills. There was kid that needed a lot of help because he never played baseball in his life. He is a fast learner and great so far at playing baseball. After baseball camp, I had to go help at hero camp. Everyone was at the barn by the pool coloring, as soon as the kids seen they already gave me a nickname. The nickname they gave me was Maui from the Disney movie Moana. After all of that we went to a lake to explore in the woods. Then some kids went fishing and the other were just hanging out with each other. June 6, 2017 Another funday for baseball camp. The kid that I have been helping is getting better at baseball. I am proud of him and myself because coaching someone who has not played a sport is hard to do. The kid is a fast learner and he is going to be a great baseball player in the future. After baseball camp, I went on a field trip with the kids at hero camp. The field trip was at the jailhouse and the juvenile center. Some of the kids were scared to walk inside through the doors while the other ones just kept calm. June 7, 2017 Hero camp went by fast today and we did not have baseball camp because of the rain. Sometime it suck that hero camp and baseball camp are outside. The reason why is because when we have bad weather it can mess up everything especially the activity we have planned for our campers. For hero camp we just watched a movie and canceled baseball camp. Then we still have co-ed volleyball tonight. June 8, 2017 The volleyball game went well last night because we did not have to cancel the game. it stopped raining before the volleyball match even start. Nobody was rude to us and everyone played with great sportsmanship. I could not coach the baseball team because I had to make sure all of the stats were updated and making everything in the office was organized. After that I had to get ready to go to the kickball game and umpire. June 9 Today is my last day for my internship and it is crazy how fast everything went. They needed help some assistance at one of the parks. So I after I finished with the stats from kickball, I went to go help them pick up the trash and make sure everything is cleaned up. After that I went to go thank Nick and Bryce for giving a opportunity to work for them.
