My dedication to ensuring active, fun, and engaging kids’camp experiences positions me to strongly benefit Horizon Star Camp as its newest Summer Camp Counselor.

Highlights of my qualifications include the following:

Organize activities including campfires, hikes, talent shows, and horseback riding while explaining and enforcing camp rules to ensure maximum camper safety.

Recognized as “Most Enthusiastic Counselor” by campers in the —14 summer camp program.
