Ashley VanderLande-Head Female Counselor

Hi everyone!

My name is Ashley van der Lande and I am from Atlanta, GA. I am currently finishing up my sophomore year at Sewanee, where I am majoring in Environmental Policy.

I am so excited to be coming back to Kanuga and am eager to meet all of you. Last summer I worked at the conference center and then the two summers before that I was on trailblazing staff. Now I am coming to be on camp staff and I am sure it will be awesome. After spending eight years as a camper, camp is definitely my home at Kanuga!

My favorite part of camp is the people. I love how we all come to camp from different places and we manage to form an incredible community by the end of the session. I have not found any other place where this is possible.

My other favorite part of camp is being outside! I like to do anything and everything outside, but especially hiking...and camp offers plenty of this to keep me happy!

Enjoy the rest of spring and GET EXCITED for the unbelievable summer that is quickly approaching!
