Where are you from?   I am from Burlington, VT. 

How did you hear about FLC?  My Mom and Dad know Lilly and Gene from college. They went to UVM.

What was (one of) your favorite activities at camp? Why?  One of my favorite camp activities is color war because  we played so many fun games and I loved the cheers!  WHITE TEAM FOR LIFE!!!!

What would you say to someone who was thinking about coming to camp for the first time? I was super nervous when I arrived at Forest Lake.  It helped that one of my best friends was there with me too so if you are thinking about going to FLC for the first time, ask a friend if they want to join you. Also, when I met my counselors and my cabin mates on the first day then I was more confident.  

What was one of your favorite memories from your time at camp? One of my favorite memories is meeting my cabin mates and counselors on the day I arrived.

What are you looking forward to when you think about returning to camp for another summer? Seeing all the friends I made this summer! ?
