Hello!
My name is Sarah, and this is my first summer as a counselor, but my fifth year at camp! Years ago, 2008-2012 to be exact, I was a camper
myself. I am delighted to be returning to the best village there is, Manzanita, and I cannot wait to spend the summer experiencing wish,
wonder and surprise with all of you!
Here is a little about me: I am 20 years old, and just finished my second year at Wake Forest University, where I am studying Biology and
Psychology. I love science and I hope to one day work in the healthcare industry. When I am not at school, I live in Denver, a city I love because
of its proximity to the mountains, and of course, amazing skiing! I grew up in Piedmont, but spent a ton of my childhood exploring Donner
Summit, where I learned to ski and developed a life long love for the exploring the outdoors. Besides California and Colorado, I have also lived
in New Hampshire and now, North Carolina. I feel so lucky to have lived in so many unique parts of the US because I have met so many
different kinds of people and explored so many awesome areas!
One of my biggest passions is theater. I have been acting since middle
school, and have continued through college, expanding my knowledge
beyond acting and into costume design, set design, stage management,
improv, video production and comedic writing. I am in my school’s sketch
comedy club and it is one of my favorite parts of college (See photo to the
left).
In addition to acting, I sing, play guitar and know some ukulele. I think that
singing around a campfire is the most magical thing in the world. 🙂
I am also an avid arts and crafts fan. I love to draw, paint, sew, and in
general, create. I love photography, and would love to get better at taking
pictures of the people and world around me!!
I believe that traveling is one of the most magical experiences there is, and I have been truly blessed to be able to explore many cool places
around the world! I have been to China, Thailand, Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico, Canada, France, Turkey, England, Croatia, Denmark and Peru. I
even lived in Chile last semester, and sea kayaked/ camped through Patagonia!! It was an absolutely life-changing experience, and I hope to one
day go back! I love spending time outside, and think that being in nature is amazing for the mind, body, heart and spirit. Below are photos from
some recent adventures!
I love Harry Potter a ton, and JK Rowling says that seven is a magical number. Soooo… here are some of my sevens!
