Q: How many years have you been a counselor at sixth grade camp?
A: I have been a camp counselor twice if you count being a C.I.T.
Q: Why did you become a counselor?
A: The reason I became a counselor this year especially is because I remember when I was a camper that both my C.I.T. and counselor made it such an enjoyable experience for me, and some of my friends told me that they didn’t enjoy camp because of their counselor and I made a goal that day to become a C.I.T. and counselor to hopefully make a camper want to come back again — as my counselor did for me.
Q: What is your favorite memory from sixth grade camp this year?
A: My favorite memory this year, this is a tough one. There’s so many good memories from this year. If I had to choose it would probably be either being ‘married’ to my CO, Kenndi Stewart, who is an incredible leader as well as my C.I.T., Lexi Gomez Smith, or hearing one of my kids say to me. “I want to come back Fish!” Those two moments made my week and can’t wait for the next two years!”
