The interviewer wants to hear what type of experience you have leading recreational activities. They want to hear that you are qualified for the job and understand the physical and cognitive limitations of the group you are leading. If you do not have experience as an Activities Assistant, describe another type of recreational activity you have led.

"I have three years of experience at a summer camp planning recreational activities for children ages 8-12. Every day I would have a different activity planned for their two weeks' stay. I planned canoe trips, kayaking, swim meets, horseback riding, tug-of-war, sandcastle contests, boogie boarding, surfing, and mini obstacle races. I planned my events based on the children's age and skill level. It was fun coming up with new activities every day that kept the children's interest."
