Hi! We are Christina and Chelsea, co-counselors from Cozy. Christina has traveled all the way from the hills of Bow, New Hampshire to begin her fifth summer on Long Lake. Chelsea has arrived for her first summer at Newfound. Originally from the coastal plains of North Carolina, Chelsea spends her school year on the bluffs of the Mississippi River at Principia College where she will begin her junior year in the Fall. Christina will be joining her there for her freshman year. Chelsea has a double major in Education as well as Sociology and Anthropology. Christina plans to focus on the performing arts. While at Camp, Chelsea will be instructing the rocks and ropes courses and Christina will be teaching her passion in life, drama. We look forward to growing spiritually with your daughter this summer.

I look forward to having a wonderful summer in Sunshine with your daughter.

Gwyn: Hi! My name is Gweneth Ochs, but my campers will know me as Gwyn. Besides seeing me in the cabin, your girls will find me at the whaler dock if they decide to take sailing. This coming year, I will be a sophomore at Principia College and I am considering a Studio Art major and a Math minor. Drawing has always been a passion of mine, but I also love to sing as well as dance. I have taken jazz, tap, and Lindy Hop (a type of swing dance) in the past and hope to continue learning them. I am looking forward to this summer because more than anything else, I love being with kids. This is my first summer as a counselor, but it is my sixth year at Newfound. I know camp to be a perfect place for encouraging spiritual and moral growth, and I am looking forward to our campers finding that atmosphere here this summer!

Melodie: Hey! I'm Melody, or Ody, since there are two counselors named Mel this summer. I will be a freshman at Principia College this fall. I would like to major in Environmental Science. I absolutely love to spend time in the outdoors and I hope to be a tripper sometime in the future at Newfound. This summer I will be teaching archery, which was my favorite activity as a camper. My favorite sports outside of camp are down hill skiing and martial arts. I can't wait to have a blast helping your daughter grow this summer.

Sunny: Hello all, and happy gorgeous June! I am Sonora (Sunny) Mack from Conifer, Colorado, and I am so excited to be your daughter's counselor this summer at Newfound. I am currently a junior at Principia College, with a major in Fine Arts. Along with all things artistic, I love the mountains and seaside (or lakeside, for that matter), especially rock climbing. This summer I will be working with your daughter in the Rocks and Ropes program, hoping to help discover new abilities to overcome challenges. This is my first year on the Newfound staff, but life as a camper is not unknown to me: I loved all five years as a camper at Adventure Unlimited in Buena Vista, Colorado. I am looking forward to meeting your daughter and beginning the fun — whether in the cabin or in program time. Thanks for sharing her with us!

I love to run, play soccer, learn about German cars, read different Christian Science articles, talking and spending time with my mom and dad. I am so excited to be at camp — it has always felt like home. Camp is a special place to me because I love to swim so much. I have been called a fish because of that love. So, as you can guess, I will be teaching swimming this summer. I am so excited to spend time with your daughter. God has some memorable times in store for us!

Julie: My name is Julie Ryan and I am loving my first summer at Newfound. I will be teaching Drama. I am a Theatre Arts major and Political Science minor at Principia College. I work at a daycare at home. This Fall I will be a Resident Assistant in one of the freshman dorms at the college. I am so excited to share my love of drama and theatre with the campers. I did not have much exposure to theatre in my small town Texas high school, but I acquired enough to love it! I am looking forward to teaching monologues and scenes that campers can perform at the end of each session. I can't wait to help your daughter grow this summer.
