Leyla Boss Waterfront and Tent Unit
Leyla has come to Windsor Mountain after working in Maine at Camp Hawthorne last summer. Originally from Ohio, Leyla will be a senior creative writing major at Miami University next fall. She enjoys traveling to new places, especially when it involves visiting camp friends in New England. This summer, Leyla is more than ready to test out the rope-swing for “safety reasons” while holding it down at the waterfront. She is excited to use her summer vacation back in the northeast, reuniting with her Camp Hawthorne family while creating new bonds with the Windsor Mountain community. |

Katie Brookoff – Art Dept Head and Tent Unit
After camp ended, I got a job answering fan-mail for a rock-n-roll-er in Memphis (where I was also moonlighting as a substitute kindergarten teacher). After reading hundreds of requests for autographs (and a couple requests for locks of hair), I decided to high-tail it out of Memphis. I just moved to New York where my job involves face-painting and dressing up like Martha Washington. Who could ask for anything more?! |

DAN FLEMING Sports Dept Head and Cabin Counselor
After a busy winter back home in England, Dan is setting out on a warmer adventure down under. Dan was born in Australia, but hasn’t been back since he moved to England 10 years ago. He’s looking forward to returning to his former home-town of Melbourne and tracking down old childhood friends. He’ll also be busy catching up with some of our favorite Australians including Grego, Lach, and Cat. His travels coincide with the travels of some other past and present Windsor Mountain staff, and we’re certain he’ll run into Tony working in Melbourne and Sasha studying abroad in Sydney. After his Australian adventures Dan will land back in New Hampshire ready for another Windsor Mountain summer! |

Badger's been hard at work at Hampshire College, which actually isn't in New Hampshire! This year, he has to cook for himself, and is eventing such recipes as crabcakes and tatertots, bunless hotdogs, and delivered chicken wings. Don't worry, they're not letting him on kitchen staff. |

Stella Mudersbach, Dorms and Art Department
After an exciting time in New York, the city that never sleeps, I returned home suffering from a post-camp culture shock (people still think I`m crazy when I start talking about camp and the fun things we used to do there). Missing all the cool campers and staff I went back to university, analyzing Michelle Obama's appearance on Sesame street, learning the history of American television and how to have a conversation in French as well as improving my rhetoric skills. Besides that I was working on the Christmas market, selling smelly cheese - oh my - life is good At present I'm recruiting and interviewing potential future counselors which is good fun because I get to talk about camp. Moreover I'm trying out new things for my art classes and I'm counting the days when I can finally return to the best place in the world - Windsor Mountain - and I can't wait to see all of you there!. |

Kate Scheffey – Art Department and Dorms
I am studying abroad in Eastern Africa on a program entitled Uganda/Rwanda: Post-Conflict Transformation through the School for International Training out of Burlington, VT. I am currently in Gulu, Uganda - staying in a homestay with three little brothers, taking classes with 13 other students from the U.S.,and going on excursions to villages and cultural sites. In about two weeks we will be traveling to Rwanda for the remaining two months - for the first month the set up will be similar to the one im currently in in Gulu, but the second month will be dedicated to a huge research project that we will present at the end. It is unlike any experience I have ever had! I’m eating lots of rice and beans, taking bucket showers, meeting amazing people, encountering heartbreaking situations but uplifting and encouraging ones as well, and generally learning more than I ever could in a traditional classroom. It is all very exciting but I am still looking forward to returning to the Windsor Mountain community this summer! |

Nicky Singh – Ropes Dept Head and Tent Unit
After camp and a stint in New York hiking, exploring and meeting lots of friends, I returned to India where I spent some time with my family in Darjeeling, went back to Bangalore, and trekked the Western Ghats while mapping trek routes for the Tourism Board of Karnataka. Afterwards, I took up a place and took some time out to tickle my creative side by decorating my little apartment. And now I have been in the Beautiful Valley of Kashmir (where it is as white as Christmas) for a month, doing Ski Courses and absolutely loving it. Soon I will be travelling back home and then to the mountains again to do the WFR course from NOLS.
