11 years as a camper

1st year on staff

Hi! I’m Claire and I cannot WAIT for this summer! I am a first-year at UNC, and I’m originally from Raleigh (triangle-area people, let’s meet up!). My favorite things include homemade food and crafts, star watching, dancing (mostly jumping), and beautiful weather (sunny and 70 and rainy days alike). My love language is quality time, and I’m so excited to spend it with you all at camp this summer!

“We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28

Personal Interests? Snacking, theatre, music, design, drinking seltzer water, fashion, space facts, making friends, eating.

When I have an hour of free time, I like to… Get coffee with a friend

Best camp tradition? Holding hands during prayers

Favorite Evening Program? Closing Vespers

Sing? Dance? Or both? BOTH

Item that I MUST bring to Camp with me…. My Greystone blanket! I got it my first year of Junior Camp and I make my bunk with it every year. Off-season, I use it for picnic blankets, sleepovers, and I even have it on my futon at college!

Something you wouldn’t guess about me… I worked at Chick-fil-A last summer (and yes, my pleasure).

Last book I read… The Only Girl in the World by Maude Julien

Three words to describe yourself: Joyful, sincere, authentic

Hidden talent? I make a mean avocado toast

If my life could have a theme song, it would be…. “Sunday Best” by Surfaces

The best thing about camp will be… living in a place built on loving others
