Fun, safe summers kids remember
Summer camp counselor with four summers leading groups of children at a residential summer camp in Maine, alongside studying education. Gives kids a summer they remember and keeps them safe doing it — leading activities and games, looking after a cabin group day and night, handling homesickness and squabbles, and being the energetic, dependable role model campers look up to. Ran some of the camp's most popular activities and was trusted with the youngest, neediest groups. Leads activities and groups, supervises and cares for campers, manages safety and behaviour, supports homesick children, and works as part of the camp team. Energetic, caring and responsible. Looking for a camp-counselor or youth-work role with a programme that wants someone who makes summers fun and keeps every child safe.
