Favorite Nashoba North Memory:
Watching campers try something new, whether it’s singing a song on stage before the rest of camp or getting into a kayak for the first time. Seeing the wonder and sense of accomplishment in a camper’s face is what makes camp great and why I am so happy to part of Nashoba North.

Favorite CNN Memory:
Some of the bonding time I’ve had with the campers right before bed. From reading to them, sharing silly stories and just having the kids talk freely and openly without judgment to the cabin as a whole.
