Summary
As a current student at the University of Waterloo, I bring strong communication, leadership, and teamwork skills honed through my past experience as a camp counsellor. I have successfully managed and mentored groups of children, ensuring their safety, engagement, and personal development throughout camp activities. My background includes organizing recreational programs, handling conflict resolution, and maintaining a positive, inclusive environment for campers and staff. I am eager to apply my passion for working with children and my ability to thrive in dynamic, fast-paced environments to a co-op camp counsellor position.
