Tim Hortons Volunteer of the Month
Sierra Greentree - Pineridge Adventure Camp
The winner of July’s Volunteer of the Month draw is Sierra Greentree who was nominated for Volunteers of the Week by Pineridge Adventure Camp on July 23rd, 2019. Here is a look back at what they had to say about their volunteer:
‘Sierra has spent two weeks of camp as support staff. She’s filled in the gaps and helped me with camp organization and discipline. As well she has taken on leading songs and campfire time. I am nominating her because she has tremendous potential for growth and is already an extremely mature leader for her age.’
Congratulations Sierra you have won a $100 gift card from our sponsor Tim Hortons!
The staff and board of the GPVSB would like to thank our sponsor Tim Hortons for helping us fuel the volunteers of Grande Prairie and surrounding area.
