For my first project, I want to create a map showing the geographic distribution of the campers at the University of Richmond chapter of Camp Kesem. As a Development Coordinator for Camp Kesem at University of Richmond, I’m interested to know where our campers come from across Virginia when writing geographic-specific grant applications. I already have the addresses of all of our campers from last August and tested the geocoding feature on ArcGIS, so this project would entail editing the cartographic features to create a visually appealing map. The extent would be all of Virginia and part of Maryland and each camper family would be represented by one dot (even though most families have more than one camper). I also plan to add points for the University of Richmond campus as well as for our campground, Westview on the James, in Goochland.
Edits:
I will either make sure not to use any names in my data tables or I will use the centroid of the zipcode in order to ensure privacy.
This map’s audience will include all Camp Kesem at University of Richmond student leaders. This map can also be replicated by all other Camp Kesem chapters for them to use in the same way, but with their own camper data.
