Summary
I've lived for the past four years at hume lake, a christian camp primarily geared towards children, which also ran adult ministries. I worked many different jobs while at hume and learned what it took to work with others, and be a valuable employee. Wether that be chopping wood in the harsh summer sun, cooking meals in a fast moving and high volume kitchen, or helping campers overcome their fears and step outside of their comfort zones in the trees. I've learned how to work with other employees, and how to deal with customers of all ages.
