Staff Spotlight- September 2021
Tuesday, September 14 by Sophie Marwil
Our September Staff Spotlight features Ari Harkavy! Ari is a fantastic counselor who shows an incredible amount of care for and dedication to her campers. Ari is thoughtful, kind and hardworking, and as a Rafter^X counselor during the summer of 2021, she did all that she could to share her love of CRC with her first-year campers. Ari is a huge asset to our staff team and we are so grateful to have her as a part of the Chippewa community. Thanks for all you bring to camp, Ari!

I have been to camp for 9 summers… so next year will be my tenth!
2. What cabin were you in during the summer of 2021?
I was in Rafter^X.
3. What is your favorite part about being a counselor at CRC?
My favorite part about being a counselor was getting to know all of my campers and watching them experience camp for the first time.
4. What was your favorite memory from the summer of 2021?
My favorite memory from this past summer is when I told my campers about a stuffed animal zip line I made my first summer with my cabin… and then the next day I walked in during rest hour and they were making one too!

I can’t possibly pick one memory as my favorite, but something I could always count on to be so fun was performing Lip Sync with my cabin.
6. How do you stay in touch with your camp friends during the year?
We are constantly texting in our group chat trying to find a time when we can all see each other! We always send each other things that remind us of camp and stay up-to-date on each other’s lives.

I’m looking forward to being back at my favorite place with my most favorite people!!
