Summary
I have worked/volunteered for this particular camp since 2017. Although my volunteer position is only seasonal, It's still a big part of my life and it's taught me so much.
In the various programs they offer, I have worked as a lifeguard, outdoor skills instructor, and have a lot of experience in leadership because of it.
