Mark joins the team!

Hi everyone,

My name is Mark Owolabi also affectionately known as Marko, Mr. Mark or Zulu Warrior. I will be on staff for my first summer at Kanuga this year. I am super excited about working at camp and I can't wait for it to begin. My home is in Asheville, N.C., and a part of my heart lies in a small village in the country of Nigeria where most of my family is from.

I am a freshman at East Carolina University and I'm majoring in Exercise Physiology with the goal of going to medical school in the near future. In my free time, I love to dance around defenders playing soccer, skate, participate in the ECU Honors and pre-medical societies, dance for African Students' Organization, and play drums for a vibrant, spirit-filled campus ministry. I love music and spend way to much money driving with my friends around North Carolina to see my favorite underground bands play. I'll also be helping out with the music program at Kanuga this year, so I hope to spread my enthusiasm for music to others.

I've had some excellent outdoor camp experiences as a boy, and I hope to get three times the experience at Kanuga this year. I'm eager to meet all the interesting staff and campers as well. I encourage anyone reading this to come and talk to me when you see me this summer!

-Mark
