| Gemma, age 24, from England |
University attending (and current job): Studying Access to
Higher Education at Warwickshire College and working as a Gym Instructor
Country I'm living in: ENGLAND!!! :)
Hobbies, skills, talents: Random skill=Touching my nose with my
tongue, Hobby=LOVE working out in the gym and Talent=Being amused by the
simplest things...EVER
What exciting things have I done in the
past year? Been offered a place on a degree to study Sport &
Fitness Management starting on my return from Texas 2012 AND being asked
to be a bridesmaid with my sister at my Mum's wedding in May
Favourite memory from CFA 2011? Leaving the humming bird feeder full of
yummy food on the tree outside the cabins and getting super excited
with the campers when we spotted one out there (and giving the humming
birds we saw their own names...can't remember the names now though)
Place I could most often be found? In the crows nest out at high ropes
(once I'd got over the height issue), ORRR....making loads of lanyards
down at the arts and craft shed
Favourite core value: Caring, I
think that all of the core values can fit into this one, a kind word,
thought or action can have a huge impact on somebody or in a situation.
Favourite snack time ice-cream: Ice cream sandwich!!!
Must have items when working at summer camp: Got to be a smile, a
camera, and a waer bottle!
Advice I'd give to other
counselors: Remember the reason that you are there, be the best that
you can be and be somebody that you yourself would be proud to
know...and enjoy every second of it - even when you are tired!!! (summer
camp goes far too quickly but the memories last forever!!!) :)
Advice I'd give to the summer campers: Don't be afraid to be true
to yourself, make the most of the time that you are at camp because all
of the friends that you make will be like family, and the experiences
and memories that come with camp will last long after you're heading
back home.
What I'm looking forward to about this summer: Meeting new and old friends, having a great time with all of the campers
and attempting to break my previous photo taking record!
