I began as a Junior Counselor in 2014 when I was in high school, and this summer will be my 6th summer at camp.
I feel like I am part of a community with the goal of making sure all campers and staff have the best summer possible!
I think I am most known for helping my campers with whatever they need! If a camper is having a hard time, I’m always more than willing to step up to make sure they feel comfortable and at home at Green Chimneys.
