8 years as a camper

1st year on staff

Hey! I’m Elena and I’m a current freshman at George Washington University in DC. I am on my school’s triathlon team and I love swimming. I have always enjoyed singing and playing piano but I am now learning to play guitar as well (inspired by the wonderful Ellie Holcomb of course). I can’t wait to be back at camp to enjoy some of my favorite things including the food (duh), lip syncs, and breakfast club.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5: 22-23

Personal Interests? Swimming, running, reading, piano, guitar, volunteering at the SPCA

When I have an hour of free time, I like to… Explore the city/ go on a walk

Favorite Evening Program? Synchro show or lip sync

Sing? Dance? Or both? Both!

Item that I MUST bring to Camp with me…. multiple tennis shoes

Three words to describe yourself: Optimistic, encouraging, adventurous

Hidden talent? I can talk with my mouth closed and make it sound like there is a person trapped inside my mouth

The best thing about camp will be… Old friends and new friends
