Best place you’ve ever traveled to: Fiji
Sports team(s) that you root for
How did you learn about North Star and why did you apply: Simply through CCUSA and i wanted to come to camp to
have a culminating experience after finishing uni and to have an
experience that takes me out of my comfort zone. I have also received a
lot of positive feedback from previous camp workers!
What did you do last summer: Well summer here in Australia I had a relatively boring year
but managed to spend some time in my home town (Port Lincoln) fishing
and golfing, a lot of time at the beach and climbing around Adelaide and
working!
What noteworthy/menial/random job(s) have you previously held: For the past couple of years I have
been working part time in a camping store to put myself through uni.
Besides that before starting this course I did some work with schools as
an outdoor instructor, specifically with rock climbing and bushwalking.
Besides that I worked as a courier in Portlincoln before starting uni
but boring!
What, if any previous camp experiences have you had:
I’ve done in terms of uni and work but basically it includes many
locations throughout South Australia, mostly bushwalking, but also
climbing, snorkeling, kayaking and surfing. I’ve also done camps in
Victoria and Tasmania including white water kayaking.
If you had a super hero power, what would it be: Either flying or Unbreakable (invincible kinda) haha can’t decide!
Best Christmas/Hanukkah present that you’ve ever gotten: Probably my old bike but I can’t help but think of a cricket set I once got.
Preferred chicken nugget dip: Definitely tomato sauce!
