Hi Daniel!
This morning I came across a flyer with summer job offers and believe me, one of the jobs is just perfect for you. It's the position of group leader in a summer camp.
First, they are looking for people who can speak English well, and you do. Secondly, they don't require any previous experience, so don't worry about this aspect. What’s more, you love nature and spending time outdoors, which is part and parcel of this post.
I’m sure you will excel at it because you are really keen, remarkably energetic, extremely responsible and have an outgoing personality. So seize the opportunity and ask for an interview. You would be a great asset to an organisation like that.
All the best,
Susan
