I’m about to head down to Atlantic City, NJ to meet the rest of our amazing year-round Camp Canadensis staff team (Eric, Brian, Matt and Cara) at the annual American Camp Association Tri-State Conference. It’s my favorite time of the year, besides actual camp! Since I’m heading to Jersey, I thought I’d introduce you to two awesome Jersey Girls who are going to be coming to camp this summer, and who I recently got to spend some time with on home visits…
Jordan is a spunky 2nd grader that I got to meet during her tour at camp this summer. She actually came during Color War, and got to see our super spirited end-of-summer tradition in action! Jordan lives in Norwood, NJ and will be coming to camp for the first time this summer. She will be a lower Junior girl, and she’d like to go by the nickname “DJ JJ Rock”, so I’m sure we won’t be getting her confused with anyone else!
Jordan loves to sing and act, and she can even do a few different accents. I really enjoy her British accent, which she had to learn in order to play Verruca Salt in “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”. She is also loves playing sports, doing arts, and she is very excited to test our our zipline at camp this summer. I think she’ll be great on the high ropes course because I saw how good she was at climbing our small boulder when she was up at camp this summer! Jordan has been helping her Mom make a bunch of adorable Canadensis clothing items for the summer, and in the photo above she is modeling a cute tye-dyed and studded example! Lisa (Jordan’s mom) is very talented, and you can see some additional examples of her items here: http://handmadewithheart.phanfare.com/
Another awesome Jersey girl is Julia, who is a current 3rd grader from Tenafly, NJ. She is going to be a Junior Girl, and she remembered so much about her tour of camp this summer! Brian and I came over a bit early while Julia was still eating dinner, but once she finished, she had tons of energy and questions about camp, and I hope we gave her all the answers she was looking for!
She loves just about everything camp offers as an activity, including gymnastics, arts and crafts, soccer, and swimming. Julia loves to sing and dance, so hopefully she will be on the Camp Canadensis stage this summer! I had such a fun time with her and her little sister Casey (pictured above) and I can’t wait to have some camp fun with Julia in a few months!
