6 years as a camper

1st year on staff

I am a Junior at Miami University in Ohio, NOT Florida. I am studying to be a middle school math and English teacher! I currently work in coffee and it is truly the best thing ever, besides camp of course. I was a camper for 6 years and always told myself I HAD to come back to be a counselor, but was always nervous of the time commitment. But I know this is the best possible way to spend my summer and I can’t wait to experience it from a new perspective and finally figure out where the counselors sneak off to at night.

“Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.” Isaiah 1:17

Personal Interests? Art, math, justice, Jesus, coffee!

When I have an hour of free time, I like to… Read, cook,

Best camp tradition? Shasta Cola

Favorite Evening Program? A surprise concert by Drew and Ellie Holcomb

Sing? Dance? Or both? I wish!

Item that I MUST bring to Camp with me…. Costumes

Something you wouldn’t guess about me… I love punk/rock/metal music and moshing at concerts

Last book I read… Currently reading Turtles all the way down by John Green

Three words to describe yourself: Passionate, creative, and weird (the good kind of weird)

Hidden talent? Juggling (thanks to camp)

If my life could have a theme song, it would be…. Come on Eileen

The best thing about camp will be… Dance parties!!!!!
