Shauns title at camp was “Events Co-ordinator” Sik title huh…sounds flashy. His job was to help organize, co-ordinate and facilitate the happenings of the camps main event games and activities, generally held on the field, down at the water or running around camp, that all the kids would participate in week in and week out. He loved it bigtime!, and it totally suited to his skills, personality and enthusiasm! He was stoked with the people that he worked with and they were stoked with him. Freakin fun and good times!

My title was “Skatepark Leader” Not as official when on your resume as ‘Events Co-ordinator’ but a much cooler job title I must admit. My job was to hang out and skate with the kids at the skatepark during the day, teach them how to skate, get the equipment and the skatepark ready for skating and make sure everybody was safe. This was a sik job! I had lots of little rippers carving up both the skatepark and me! It was a humbling experience having a 12 year old tear you to pieces but I was stoked when I had them show me a thing or too.

So this was it. Canada! Not knowing what was ahead for Shaunpaul after camp, he soaked up the Canadian summer and was quietly stoked after making his first step out of little old New Zealand. Choice as.
