I love working with a wide range of people from staff to the young people who come for the activities and their parents too! I get to meet lots of fun people.

Before joining the team at YMCA Doncaster, Amy was the Director of a Leadership Programme at YMCA Camp Mohawk, a Summer Camp in the USA.

Amy speaks fondly of her Summer Camp Experience and explained that it also included many outdoor activities “I did lots of paddle boarding and ate lots of campfire s’mores!”
