5 Years as a Camper

1st Year on Staff

I love photography and have always loved astronomy. If I have time, I like to sketch things. I went to New York with my church on a mission trip after Hurricane Sandy to help clean up a church in 2013. I also went to the Dominican Republic on a mission trip with my church to help build houses for people down there in 2014. I got certified in Scuba Diving in 2015. I am super excited to be with all the kids and show them how to do different things. I really like younger kids and I am thinking about majoring in Psychology and doing my Masters in Elementary Education.

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.” Isaiah 43:2

Personal Interests: Photography

When I have an hour of free time, I like to… Watch Netflix or hang out with friends

Best camp tradition? I love the fireworks on the 4th of July

Item that I MUST bring to Camp with me: My Jesus Calling book

Last book I read: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Three words to describe yourself: Loyal, friendly, caring

Hidden talent? I have never been good at math, but this semester I got a 100 on my Statistics final exam and a 100 for my final grade in the class. I have never finished with a 100 for a class before and I also helped some of my friends who did not understand.

If my life could have a theme song, it would be…. Isaiah 43

The best thing about camp will be… Working with the younger children and helping them learn how to do things
