Encore: Which camps did you work or volunteer for? Which age groups did you work with?
Bryce: Last summer, I worked for one week with It’s Elementary, the 5-9 age group.

Encore: What have you learned through working at Encore summer camps?
Bryce: I’ve learned how to be more responsible, sensitive, and attentive to the needs of younger kids. I always wanted to make the camp experience as fun and memorable for the campers as possible.
Encore: Please describe working at Encore camps in five words or short phrases.
Bryce: Fun and creative learning environment.
Encore: Anything else you’d like to share?
