Objective
I would like to become a Councilor, Kitchen Staff, or Maintenence during the months of July and August 2012. I believe that I could be a good asset to the Camp Pinecrest Staff. At Camp Pinecrest you need to be able to work with others, be creative, and be organized. I have been playing many team sports throughout my life and was Captain of my two previous teams. With Camps concentration on the kids having fun I believe my experience as a leader would help me be the best I can be and help them have fun. Also with the Leader in Training programs offered at the camp under my belt I think it gives me a better view of how to be a staff member and respect the camp environment.
