Summer camp has always been an important part of my life. From attending camp as a child, to becoming a counselor in training, to being invited onto the staff team as a teenager, and taking on leadership roles the older I became. I thought that summer 2014 was my last summer involved in camp; I was on track to graduate from college and needed a job, so I applied for a management position at a hospital in rural Maine as an Aquatics & Fitness Program Coordinator. My major in school was Mental Health and Human Services, but I still didn’t quite know what I wanted to do with that. Since I was familiar with aquatics having worked at camp for 5 summers on the waterfront staff, managing a pool seemed to be a good first step to launching myself into the work force.
