Kitchie Motivation

Decent Essays
I respectfully request permission to accept outside employment for Kanakuk Kamps this summer from May 28th through June 17th during my leave block. I attended Kanakuk, a Christian sports camp, for seven years as a camper and would like to be able to return to work there this summer in the position of a kitchie. A kitchie is responsible for cooking and serving food to the campers and other staff, maintaining the cleanliness of the dining hall, leading groups in sports, and mentoring a cabin of high school girls. Working as a kitchie would be an opportunity for me to work on servant leadership because the job requires long hours, direct leadership of high school girls, and service that should be done joyfully in order to set a positive example.
