Work History

Summer Camp Lifeguard

Camp Manitou Bay of Islands
07.2022 - Current
  • I volunteer here at this Camp every summer, I have been a lifeguard and a counsellor. It is an overnight camp and each week a new group moves in.
  • I was a lifeguard here for 4 weeks last year at the youth camps. I would come out on canoe or kayak paddles and lead the way or stay at the back to make sure no one is falling behind.
  • Supervising the water whenever there was a swim and making sure the kids are behaving safe for example cliff jumping off of the correct spots.
  • I made a positive atmosphere by actively participating in team-building exercises with fellow lifeguards and staff members.
  • Supported fellow staff members during off-duty hours by participating in camp-wide events and activities, like water games or helping with maintenance duties such as cleanup.
