Summer 2009 |
Back to the USA for another summer at camp! Under the supervision of the camp caretaker, my missions involved: general and preventive maintenance, cars servicing, pickup and dropoff for campers going on wilderness trips...
... and also beyond expectations:
- I mowed the lawn / vacuumed the office mostly during lunchtime to avoid disturbing kids' activities
- I offered to wake up early and go pick up a group of kids whose trip had been a bit harsh (bad weather, injured activity leader...), in order to bring them all back to camp just in time for a warm and comforting lunch
- Thorough final cleaning of the vans before returning them to the dealership
I worked in a multicultural team, dedicated to keeping the camp safe and enjoyable for the kids: general and preventive maintenance, improvement works...
... and also beyond expectations:
- Cleaned-up and reorganized the maintenance shed
- Skipped the after-lunch break time every day in order to help the kitchen staff doing the dishes
