ELITE FLEET SUMMER 2018

Resources:!! -Letter of Recommendation for Elite Fleet Member from 2016.!! -Website for Kids Life Kamp!!!!To Whom It May Concern, !It is my pleasure to send you this letter of recommendation and character reference for Shelby. I had the opportunity to meet Shelby in 2016 and have been afforded significant opportunities to see her perform admirably in situations that required great personal character and leadership. It is for this strength of character and commitment to excellence that I am writing to you today on her behalf. !In 2016 I had the opportunity to lead a select group of High School and College Students called the Elite Fleet. This team of students was hand picked through an application process that involved a demonstration of commitment, a personal essay and a letter of recommendation from a leader that is active in their lives. This summer, Shelby was selected to be a member of this 12 person team that led recreation for a children’s camp, which had over 1,000 participants. During the 8 days of camp Shelby would log-in over 130 hours on the rec field and in various other roles leading children, supporting adult volunteers and implementing camp logistic needs. !Her participation in the Elite Fleet would require commitment and sacrifice from her physically, emotionally, spiritually and intellectually. I can personally attest to her performance under such demanding circumstances and affirm that she performed admirably at every level. !Elite Fleet not only allowed me the chance to see Shelby excel under pressure, it also provided me the insight to see her interaction with small-group dynamics and teamwork. She was a great member of the team and helped to elevate all of her teammates to their very best abilities. !I am absolutely confident that no matter the task before her, Shelby is capable of performing at the best and highest level. She will quickly become an asset to your team and future endeavors. !Thank you for considering Shelby and I look forward to seeing how this opportunity will continue to provide her with opportunities to grow and open doors for a bright and wonderful future. !Sincerely, !Eric Larson Children’s Pastor !!! !www.kidslifekamp.org
