Stuart Wriglesworth joins us for his first summer at North Star. He was born in Leeds, England. He's currently a student at Manchester Metropolitan University in Cheshire. He's a big sports fan, including Rugby Union, Cricket, Golf, Basketball, Skiing and Sailing. He is in his second year of university studying coaching and sports development.
He applied to work at a camp to gain more experience working with children and coaching. He first became a coach when he was 16 after his local cricket club needed volunteers to help out with the junior section. At School he was always an active member of different clubs and societies including the combined cadet force. He's got a wide variety of skills and at camp you're likely to find him instructing sailing and riflery.
