Andrea started out her Camp Kawartha journey as a camper in the late 1990’s/early 2000’s! She was a camper, counsellor and the Leader in Training Director at Camp Kawartha before she became a Registered Nurse in 2009. Andrea spent much of her nursing career in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at SickKids, and she now works part time in the PRHC Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Her favourite parts about working with the camp are being surrounded by nature, her friendly down-to-earth colleagues, using her nursing skills in a creative and unique way, and witnessing the spirit of camp through all the children who attend, including her own!
