Greetings Special Camp Family!  I cannot wait for another amazing summer!  This year I have the honor of serving as the Director of Special Camp.  I just finished my Junior year at Kenyon College in beautiful Gambier, Ohio where I am a Religious Studies major.  And what a year it was!  First semester, I studied immigration and human rights issues on the border between Texas and Mexico.  I lived with a family in Mexico, studied at universities in both Mexico and Texas, and worked in a homeless shelter in El Paso, Texas.  Second semester, I was back on campus where I served on student council, gave tours at our environmental center, and even took quilting lessons!  I look forward to seeing all of you at camp this summer.  I am proud to be a part of the camp as we celebrate our 16^th year and all find the hero in ourselves.
