Julia just completed her freshman year at Muhlenberg college where she plans to double major in Theatre and Businesses. She attended Camp Chateaugay (a sleepaway camp in the Adirondacks) when she was 14 but the following summers participated in a high school marching band located in Ogdensburg, New York. She enjoys reading, dancing, singing, and being around friends and family. She is looking forward to being outside and making lifelong connections with her fellow staff members and campers.

Lindsay H., G4B

Lindsay is so happy to start her first year as a counselor at Elmwood Day Camp. During the year, she studies at SUNY New Paltz. As an incoming sophomore, she is pursuing a degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in history. During her childhood, she went to a different camp for 12 years and was a counselor at that camp for another 2 years. Other than studying at school, she loves to sing and dance in a club on campus. She is extremely passionate about the arts and having a great time dancing to a good beat. Three words that describe her are: leader, enthusiastic, and friendly. A fun fact about Lindsay is that she can make a three-leaf clover with her tongue!

Michelle P., G4B

Although Michelle grew up in San Diego, she is no stranger to summer camp! She grew up attending day camps provided by the YMCA for years, as well as a 6th grade sleep-away camp for a week. She also has attended a few theater camps! This summer will be Michelle’s first summer at Elmwood, and she cannot wait for camp songs and the fun activities that is in store! She is mostly excited for Swim. Michelle can often be described as fun, silly and compassionate. She loves to swim, do arts and crafts, and loves making friendship lanyards. Michelle has taught herself how to speak in a foreign language, and in her spare time when she is not learning this new language, she enjoys cooking interesting foods for her friends and family. She is currently learning how to make…SNAILS!

Sophie is starting her first year at Bates College this fall where she plans on double majoring in mathematics and politics. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, baking, and spending time outside.

Sandra S., Floater Counselor

Sandra just finished her Freshman year at the University of Buffalo. She hopes to one day be a nurse practitioner. Even though she was never an Elmwood camper, Sandra decided to work at Elmwood because of all the great things she has heard. She did not regret that decision and is now back for a second year! She enjoys swimming, playing games and dancing. She hopes to make some new friends and can’t wait to be back with everyone from last year. She is excited to have fun with all those attending camp this summer. One fun fact about Sandra is that she speaks three languages, English, Spanish and Polish!
