  STEAMS/Skills Camp Counsellor

  Starting today, I will be returning to Loyalist College for another fantastic summer opportunity. What a privilege to return to our campus and to demonstrate my expanded skillset coming off my recent graduation as a former student. This has been made possible through my efforts last year and once again becoming an integral part of summer camp programs for children/youth within our community. Looking forward to exploring dynamic, positive interactions with staff, families and camp participants alongside creating new, exciting networks within the community!! Another fantastic summer ahead of building experiences and expanding my knowledge, but also making sure to have a blast each and everyday. This includes being tasked with finding solutions to unpredictable challenges and making lifelong memories during the next 8 upcoming weeks. Show less
