Christina Williams
Bree Hugins
Christina: I have travelled all the way from the hills of Bow, New Hampshire to begin my fifth summer on Long Lake. I will be beginning my freshman year at Principia College in the fall and plan to focus on the performing arts. While at camp, I will be teaching my passion in life, drama.

Bree: Hello! My name is Bree Hugins and I am a new counselor here at Newfound. Although this is my first summer here, I am not a stranger to this wonderful camp life. I was a camper at both A/U and Cedars, and a counselor at Cedars. I just finished my first year in college at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in California, studying international relations and political science. In the Fall, I will be embarking on a four month long stay in Alicante, Spain where I will be studying Spanish and the remarkable Spanish culture. I can’t wait to spend these next four weeks with your daughters at this amazing place. Happy summer!

Caroline: Hi. This is my ninth summer at camp and my first as a counselor on staff. I am so excited to have your daughter at camp this summer! I just finished my junior year at Principia Upper School, and I am excited for next year. During the school year I stay busy playing tennis, doing art, and spending lots of time with friends. This summer I will be on the H-dock, teaching swimming. I look forward to living with and teaching your daughter.

Christie: I am Christie Coddington and I will be taking good care of your daughter for the next few weeks. I am so excited to have a fun summer with our cabin.

Melody Stein
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.

Ana: Hi! I come from Philadelphia, and I am so excited to see your daughter in our cabin. This will be my fourth summer at Newfound. After having a blast as a CIT last year, I wanted to come back for another summer of growth and fun this summer. I will be teaching canoeing, so during the day I can be found out by Shampoo Rock or Hairbrush Island. When I am not at Long Lake, I love to run cross-country, bake cookies with my twin sister, and travel. I am so excited for a summer on the hill!

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!
