Peter Edwards

Hey there from Cedar! Peter here but you can call me Pete or Petie or Pee-Wee (yes, some people call me Pee-Wee which came from someone randomly shouting it out and it stuck from there on). This will be my first summer at Camp Augusta, although not my first as a camp counsellor. I was born 23 years ago in a small Welsh town called Wrexham. In 2014 I graduated from the University of South Wales with a BA(Hons) in Drama (Theatre and Media). Drama has been my passion ever since I was 10 years old; I’ve been involved in productions with school, youth theatre, and amateur productions, and in shows that ran for 34 performances over a month to a short run of shows where for the whole 97 minutes of the play I was off stage for about 3 minutes in total.

I have travelled a fair bit over the years, going to France, Portugal, Belgium, Austria, Italy (for lunch), South Africa, Swaziland and been to a few states in the US. One of the most amazing experiences was in SA where I spent time with a group of other people from around the world building a new home for a family that didn’t have room, teaching English and sports in the local high school, and spending time with cheetahs and crocodiles helping rebuild enclosures for their rehabilitation. I can’t wait to travel more in the future to experience new cultures and broaden my views on the world.

Two men in modern clothing interact with three people dressed in traditional Zulu attire, holding shields and spears, with round thatched huts and trees in the background.

Some more quick facts/stories about me:

I once spent an hour in an improv game with one other person because the teacher and class “enjoyed it so much”.

I love dogs, but have never owned one. I would love to have a husky.

I love to sing! I will make anything into a song so I apologise now for the amount of bad singing you will hear.

A man in theatrical costume and black cloak makes a dramatic, claw-like gesture on stage; the background features large, slanted text from classic literature on a light wall.

A person in a hoodie and shorts stands on a rocky cliff edge, looking out over a vast mountain landscape under a cloudy sky. A small lake and winding roads are visible far below.

I like to live by the words “Onwards and Upwards”.

I’ve been to the top of Mt Evans in Colorado 14,000+ ft (we did cheat though and drove rather than walked but one day I will go back and walk the whole way!)

My favourite colour is BLUE!

A person in a gray sweater places their hands on a large plasma globe, causing purple and pink electric streams to follow their touch inside the glass sphere. The background is dimly lit.

A man sits on dry grass, smiling and petting two cheetahs lying relaxed beside him. The scene is outdoors in a grassy area, and the weather appears clear and warm.

I once performed Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream at a castle in North Wales.

When I was young we had huge fern trees in our back garden that led into a forest. I used to walk through them and pretend I was entering Narnia on the other side.

At the last camp I worked at for a whole day I wore a bacon suit, tie, kilt and bikers helmet combo. I had to take the helmet off sometimes because I couldn’t hear.

Four young men stand arm-in-arm, smiling at the camera in front of a wooden building with colorful signs. One wears a bacon costume, while the others are dressed casually in T-shirts and hoodies.

I’m looking forward to meeting you all this summer and just having some crazy, wacky fun!!

Two actors in colorful, striped Renaissance-style costumes and sneakers perform a playful scene on stage, with dramatic gestures. The backdrop features quotes from Shakespeare and an archway with red curtains.

Three actors in theatrical costumes perform energetically on stage; one in a red dress, another kneeling in a white shirt, and the third playing a guitar in a blue jacket. A backdrop with text and two archways is behind them.
