Beth (CPR & First Aid Certified):
Adventurous - During the two years I spent working at Girl Scout Camp I would spend my summer teaching 9-15 year olds how to do archery, arts & crafts, canoe and paddle-board as well as leading them through their daily activities & team building.
Creative - I have a good eye for photography and film making. I can help with any digital marketing, online presence or simply taking great photos of your cause.
Technical - I work with bands and musicians as an audio engineer so I am very capable when it comes to day-to-day technological faults.
Independent - In my spare time there's nothing I enjoy more than a solo camping trip or a long day hike, I can keep myself occupied and entertained for days on end with my endless stream of puns and "dad jokes".
Phoebe (CPR, First Aid, and Safe Serve Certified):
Customer Service and Food Management - I have 7+ years of experience in the food industry. I have done everything from food prep, cooking, cleaning, serving, and bar tending to managing small team of employees, scheduling, and daily financing for a small business.
Childcare and Programming - I have 3 years of experience creating a summer long arts and crafts program as well as the regular duties of entertaining and taking care of 10+ children at a time.
Outdoor skills - I am an outdoor enthusiast. I am well versed in hiking, camping, and kayaking. I also don't mind getting dirty or working hard outside, I actually prefer it.
