If there's one thing Zivia's fond of doing and also very good at, it's cooking. Foraging isn't a strong skill of hers, but bring her ingredients certified as edible and she'll take up the challenge of making them delicious. She's also got some experience with cooking under the constraints of minimal equipment, and is more than happy to share her expertise.
"Sure, the main thing you really need is a good sharp knife, and if you've got that you're ahead of the game. But you bring along a good-sized pot, the number of things you can cook goes way up. All of a sudden you can do soups, you can do stews, you can do hot cereal for breakfast -- you can even bake bread in a pot if you know how ..."
Want to learn how? Or talk about the best foods to bring with you on this kind of trip? Or join in the group project of improvising a soup out of foraged vegetables? Come on by.
Stories and Songs
Meanwhile, if there's two things Zivia's fond of doing and also good at, the other is definitely keeping kids entertained. She'll tell stories of all kinds, from classic Jewish folk tales to mostly-memorized Dr. Seuss and Maurice Sendak, but she'll also teach as many summer camp songs and chants as she can remember from her childhood.
Very sorry, Mr. Pennyburrow, but your charges are now familiar with "Who Stole The Cookies" and "The Song That Never Ends."
Keeping an Eye
While she might be able to handle a guard position, Zivia is pretty sure her skills would better serve being one of the general attendants. Is anyone missing, is anyone struggling, is anyone off by themself and unhappy about it? She'll notice, and if she doesn't know what to do, she'll find someone who does.
