How many summers have you been at camp?
I’ve been at camp for nine summers.

What cabin were you in during the summer of 2024?
I was in A-Frame during the summer of 2024.

What is your favorite part about being a counselor at CRC?
My favorite part about being a counselor at CRC is getting to make lasting, sister-like bonds with my campers and cos. As the youngest child of my family, I love feeling like all of my campers are like the little sisters I never had.

What was your favorite memory from the summer of 2024?
My favorite memory from summer 2024 was driving the ski boats. I can’t picture a better day than driving the ski boats, listening to good music, and getting to watch and help campers grow as skiers and overcome challenges.

What is your favorite camp memory of all time?
There are wayyy too many memories to choose from. I would say a memory of mine is a favorite if I am surrounded by my friends, doing something that we enjoy, and laughing a lot.

How do you stay in touch with your camp friends during the year?
My camp friends and I text 24/7 and are always sending each other pictures and videos.

What do you do when you are not at camp?
I am currently a freshman at University of Miami studying Data Science and AI. I love going to the beach, hanging out with friends, and baking.

What are you most excited about for the summer of 2025?
In the summer of 2025, I am most looking forward to rekindling the awesome connections I had from last summer and making many more!
