As weekend retreat cook, I managed catering for weekend retreats accommodating between 100 and 200 guests. This role encompassed the preparation and service of meals throughout the day, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner, demanding long hours and dedicated effort. Additionally, I ensured the meticulous cleaning and sanitization of dishes after each meal.

As a cabin leader, I was responsible for the well-being and enjoyment of the campers in my cabin. Ensuring they enjoyed their time and felt both supported and valued. I dedicated myself to creating a lively and supportive environment, fostering a positive experience for each camper.

During the weeks when I was not serving as a cabin leader, I was apart of the maintenance team. While in this role, I was responsible for maintaining camp cleanliness, which involved overseeing the upkeep of restroom facilities and ensuring thorough sanitation of dishes. Additionally I performed general maintenance tasks, utilizing equipment such as chainsaws, power washers, dirt compactors, lawn mowers, excavators and more to ensure the camp's operational safety and efficiency.

As a certified First Aider, my responsibilities included accompanying canoeing expeditions to ensure immediate and effective medical intervention in the event of an emergency.
