RE: Group Leader at Kids´ Camp
Dear Mr Brown,
I am writing in apply to your advertisement for the Group Leader at Kids´ Camp.
I believe that this position would suit me perfectly since I have the qualities you are looking for. I am a person with a very big patience, as well as an inventive mind and an outgoing personality.
Until recently I have been employed as a group leader at a summer camp at Camp Hilltop. Besides that this work gave me the experience you require, it gave me knowledge about the responsibility a group leader have. As well as the responsible I learned to communicate and understand different types of personalities, which I think is an important quality to have when you work with children.
At Camp Hilltop I was responsible for one smaller group of children between the ages five to nine. At this camp the children was given the opportunity to learn more about music and the nature. My duties were to schedule the activities through the day and look after my group. Because of this earlier experience I believe that I could perform the duties described in your advertisement quite sufficiently.
I would enjoy meeting you to discuss further what I could do for your organisation. I will contact you in one week´s time and hope that I may come to you for an interview as soon as possible.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Elin Ivarsson

The camp was also nonprofit, with its donations going towards helping the community build and expand its facilities. Thus, I had to make sure to budget the money invested into the camp properly while also making sure that the camp was able to be successfully engaging on a low-budget. I was able to manage the budget and financial logistics by staying organized and prioritizing deadlines for each step of the process. I also reached out to my supervising senior directors for advice and support. In regards to the actual running of the camp itself, I had to select a group of counselors that would work well together and engage the campers. I approached the process of selecting the team by balancing personalities and assigning counselors to positions which brought out their strengths. In the process of training the counselors, I learned how and when it is necessary to delegate tasks as I was one person and they would be the ones more directly leading the campers in turn. Finally, I had to come up with an agenda which was would be practical and safe for the campers while also being fun and memorable. By getting insights into other perspectives and exploring my creativity, I was able to become a more effective…

As I referenced before my passion and the enjoyment I feel when I’m around children peaked my interest in this career field. I volunteered at an elementary school during the fall in the afternoons. In Aire Libre Elementary School the After the Bell program, kids stayed after school to do homework or get extra lessons in subjects they were struggling in. When I first started I mainly worked with first and second grader, the group was very small condensed with first and second so I interacted with each one. I made a connection with each student learning their strengths and weaknesses. I was then asked to help with one of the third grade classes as they were more rowdy and easily were distracted. The teacher allowed me to take individual groups…
