Imagine you are a supervisor at an overnight summer camp. Your teenage campers will spend 3 fun-filled weeks participating in activities such as horseback riding, playing sports, participating in arts and crafts, swimming, etc.
You are made aware that during this upcoming summer, there will be a few campers who are experiencing some challenges (i.e., depression, questioning their sexual orientation or gender identity, cultural differences, etc.). As a supervisor, it is your job to educate your staff on the physical, psychological concepts, emotional, and social changes that occur during adolescence. You decide to create a presentation for your staff summarizing the psychological development during adolescence.
