Shared my love for summer camp in the Rockies with hundreds of kids. I managed staff of 30+, created schedules each week for games, meals, hikes, and activities. In the "downtime", I painted fences, cleaned bathrooms, and helped the maintenance crew. I even installed a urinal all by myself!

Somehow, I learned some of the most important lessons about what it means to be an employee and coworker, despite being completely spoiled by my boss. We served the best Nu-Burgers (crumbly meat burgers with mustard, pickles and onions) with fresh cherry limeades.
