Toro: How long have you been coming to camp for?
Anna: I have been coming for four years now. I
was 7 when I first started. I did the 3 night camp session, Session N. My first
counselor was Breezy, but that was back when she was a LIT (Leader-in-Training,
a leadership program for 16 & 17 year olds), so she wasn’t named. Session N
was a good transition to camp but I wanted to come for a longer time
than three nights.
Toro: What is your favorite class at camp?
Anna: My favorite class is Arts and Crafts
because we do really cool things that you don’t have the opportunity to do at
school, or don’t have the supplies to do at home. Some interesting crafts we
have done this session are making paper maché hands and masks along with our
own candles. My mom is really into arts so I have always been interested in
expressing myself creatively.
Toro: What is your favourite evening program?
Anna: My favorite evening program is CK Harmony, a
program where we pair up kooky characters. I also like Zingtong but that is
everyone’s favorite evening program. The medieval theme this year kept Zingtong
interesting for all of the campers, old and new. I love evening programs
because it’s easy for all campers to get involved. [My friend] Molly and I pulled a
prank and stole the king’s lunch during the medieval luncheon, we sure caught
him off guard!
Toro: If you could run a program what would you
do?
Anna: An interest choice that I would run as a
counselor would be making pets out of plants and other renewable materials to
create new friends.
Toro: How did you first hear about camp?
Anna: I first heard about camp through my
neighbours in Lakefield, Pablo and Feye.
Toro: What is your favourite camp meal?
Anna: Chicken burgers are the best, we actually
just had them for lunch!
Toro: Do you go to camp alone or do you bring
friends?
Anna: My two friends from home also come to camp
but I have made great friends here that I see year after year. The majority of
my friends I’ve made here have been my cabin mates, such as Molly. We have been
in the same cabin for 3 years together! I try to keep in touch as much as
possible with my friends from camp but I have a pretty busy schedule throughout
the school year.
Toro: Do you ever get homesick?
Anna: No, not really. I try to write letters back
to my parents but I always forget!
Toro: What is your dream position on staff?
Anna: I want to be the head of tuck because then
you could eat candy while you’re giving it out. I would also want to be the
head of land sports. I wish I could just grow overnight and be on staff
already.
Thank you Anna! and what a great interview to pair with the new Summer Camp 2015 Video! Enjoy!
