How did you learn about North Star and why did you apply?:
I saw a job posting on the University of Wisconsin’s Job Center and
then when I checked out the website North Star looked like an awesome
place to work! Being outside and working with kids all summer sounded
like the best job ever.
What noteworthy/random/menial jobs have you held?: I sold hot dogs and beverages at a kite festival one summer. I also ran a fair amount of lemonade stands when I was a kid.
What did you do last summer?:
Last summer I worked at my local pool. When I was not working, I was
either in Minocqua at a friend’s lake house, boating closer to home, or
traveling to Illinois to see two of my favorite bands; Coldplay and
Mumford and Sons. I was also in two summer soccer leagues.
What, if any previous camp experiences have you had?:
I attended two overnight soccer camps when I was 12 and 13 and went to
an adventure day camp when i was 9. Also, when I worked at the pool we
always had a lot of camps swimming at the pool.
