Camp Driver Jun 2004 to Sept 2005

I worked at Block and Hexter Vacation Center in the USA throughout the summer of 2004 after getting the job through the Camp America agency. I was employed there as one of the main drivers.

Block and Hexter was firstly an elderly person’s camp. As a driver this meant that I had to transport the guests throughout my day on shopping trips, hospital runs and picking them and dropping them off in New York

City. As the driver I also had to do camp shopping, make sure cars were serviced and cleaned. The hours were long with the average day lasting about 10-14 hours which doesn’t include night callouts which I had to do twice.

Throughout the summer overall I drove over 11,000 miles but being at camp I had to help out on other duties. I helped serving lunches in the kitchen, was a tour guide in the museums on the day trips, helped do lighting and

designed props for staff show.

While not driving I worked in the offices mainly answering phone, designing leaflets for guests and also

fixing the computers. Due to me fixing computers in the office I was asked to help fix networking problems with the guest computers in the computer lab (which I fixed). I also assisted the lifeguard at the swimming pool and

the lake.

Key Achievements:

Driving large distances around Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Manhattan

Did all the camp shopping trips for supplies

Drove all customers and staff for pick up and drop off and day trip outs

Maintenance and cleaning of all vehicles

Helped set up rooms around site for various activities
