Getting everyone to sing "My Aunt Olga" every morning. Being able to have a positive impact om a camper's experience is what this job is all about! To be able to be a part of someone's memories and make a difference in a camper's summer is a fantastic reward! Also I love hot dogs.
2. What do you do when you are not a camp leader?
I have recently graduated from Algonquin College in Ottawa with a post-graduate Sports Business Management Certificate, as well as a Business-Marketing Diploma. My life revolves around hockey, and I was lucky enough to be able to work for the Ottawa 67's (OHL) during my time in school and I have large ambitions for a career in the sports industry in the future. Outside of camp I enjoy romantic comedies, star gazing, candle lit dinners and using the saying "the bees knees".
