More about Michael
How did you learn about North Star and why did you apply?
I learned about North Star through applying to Camp Menominee and being referred to North Star from them. I decided to apply to North Star for a few reasons, the first being that I was looking for a camp counselor position and North Star seemed like a great camp. The second was I was looking for a camp that was athletic based, I realized that North Star wasn’t centrally based around athletics but certain activities did. I wanted to instruct athletic activities to younger generations and pass on my love for sports.

I have never worked at a camp before this, but when I was younger I attended Camp Yu-Nah-Li- Ya for 7 years. Many of the years I attended I stayed at camp and did the activities there, yet one of the years I went on a three day canoe trip. Additionally I have had many outdoor experiences, I have gone on two canoe trips with my father, multiple camping trips with my family, and I enjoy being outside in nature as much as I can.
