My first summer at Green Chimneys was the summer of 2022 when I was a Sports Specialist at Hillside!
My favourite memory from last summer was colour war. It’s a beautifully organised mess and everyone gets involved! I just wish I had of close my eyes and mouth more than I did.
I want to broaden my skills as a Head Staff member, contribute new ideas and put my own spin on things at camp!
All of them, but probably “In the Jungle” (I have fun/ I have found/On a Farm) is my favourite. I don’t know how I kept my voice to be honest. “Princess Pat” is another favourite.
My favourite week was probably Disney/Pixar week, when I dressed up as the Pixar lamp. It was a…lightbulb moment. I’m always up for painting my face in any colour possible.

With the completion of an elaborate new habitat built by Green Chimneys’ woodshop students, the Farm Science classroom was able to welcome Brownie into her new home. Brownie previously lived alone in her cage in the farm and wildlife office, but guinea pigs do best in larger environments. The new habitat allows her to live in a herd as she would in the wild, with many places to hide and ways to practice her skills. Brownie has always been a social creature, and she has taken over the guinea pig herd but is a very peaceful leader.
