Maggie was a great help to other camp counselors. As the art specialist, she did not have a group of campers assigned to her for the week but she actively worked to build connections with campers, so that she could easily swoop in to help as needed. Whether it was a sick kid waiting to be picked up, or a multitasking coworker that needed coverage for a few minutes to complete another task, Maggie was always willing to help out. She was integral to the check-in and check-out process, ensuring all the kids were safely ushered to and from camp, and all the right sign-offs were completed.
