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.
