Hello there, all you magical folks 😀
My name is Melina, and this will be my first season at Camp Augusta!! I couldn’t be more excited to instill a whole lot of wish, wonder, and surprise in the hearts of those I get to meet this summer!
Hello there, all you magical folks 😀
My name is Melina, and this will be my first season at Camp Augusta!! I couldn’t be more excited to instill a whole lot of wish, wonder, and surprise in the hearts of those I get to meet this summer!
I have always had a strong affinity for all things otherworldly, so I’m going to describe the different aspects of myself through different mystical creatures!!
~ Mermaid ~
Ever since I was a young girl, and throughout my whole life, I’ve dreamed of being a mermaid. Here are some of the reasons why I resonate with these finned fantasy creatures so much:

~ Faerie ~
These tiny creatures relate to who I am in these ways:

~ Elf ~
These beings of the natural world have long held a soft spot in my heart, here’s why:

~ Witch ~
**A good witch!** Witches tend to have a bad reputation in society, but they aren’t all malevolent! These are some reasons why I relate to witches:
[Photo 1: Some of my best friends/ roommates gathering for dinner | Photo 2: A basket of apples from a day of apple-picking and Nahla the spooky cat | Photo 3: Drawing on the underside of a shelf mushroom | Photo 4: My brother, sister, and I at a baseball game | Photo 5: Playing with costumes at a thrift store]
Well there you have it, folks! I want to save the rest of the getting to know me part for camp!!!
Before I go, I have a question for my campers: What’s your favorite mystical creature and why?!
Ta-ta for now <3
