Austin Returns

Well hello everyone!

My name is Austin Smith and I can’t wait to be a part of my second year at Kanuga! I’m from Rutherfordtonsvilleburgshire, but currently live in Greensboro, North Carolina. Listening/playing music as well as creating paintings and collages are just a few things I like to do in my spare time. I’m finishing up my sophomore year at UNC Greensboro where I am majoring in Art Education.

At camp, you can find me playing four square or you may just be looking down at me from the climbing tower. I’m sooooo excited about camp and look forward to seeing everyone again or for the first time!

See you soon,
Austin

Rob Coleman Returns!

Hello campers,

For those of you who do not know me, my name is Rob Coleman. I am from Greenville, SC and this will be my 11th year at Camp Kanuga. I am a rising junior at Presbyterian College (Go Blue Hose!) and I am a business management and accounting major. I love all sports and the outdoors. I go hunting and fishing whenever I get the chance. I will be working in the sports program area and am looking forward to the intense cabin sports rivalries.

I cannot wait to meet all of y'all!

Another Allred Returns to Camp

Hello Campers!
My name is Meredith Allred, and I'm from Chapel Hill, NC. This will be my second year as a counselor, and I could not be more excited to be coming back! I was a camper at Kanuga for 5 years, then a trailblazer and an LT, so I've spent a lot of time at camp and it means so much to me! Right now I am finishing up a semester in Montpellier, France, where I have had a great time meeting new people, eating pastries, and hearing people say "Ooh la la" a lot. I'll be a senior at UNC next year, and as great as France is, I can't wait to get back to the best campus in the world!

Some of my favorite things at camp include making string bracelets, tie-dye, dressing up silly for the dance, the Kanuga olympics, drinking lots of water, and going on campouts! I know this summer is going to be great, I can't wait to meet all of you!

See you soon,
Meredith

Pierce Myers headed back to NC

Hello All,

Greetings from Mars (just kidding). My name is Pierce Myers and this will be my eighth year as part of the Kanuga community. I enjoy the outdoors and especially those whispering pines of North Carolina. Sports are my passion and I hope to continue playing soccer in college. This will be my first year as counselor and I'm as excited as I was Christmas of '94. That was an awesome Christmas. Living in Sewanee, Tennessee I've grown up outdoors, and around great people. Sewanee holds a special place in my heart as does Kanuga. You will more than likely catch me being silly and making jokes. Next year I will be traveling around the country (and possibly Spain) before attending the University of the South.

Thanks for reading, I hope to meet YOU, eventually.

Philip Cook celebrates a dozen years

Fellow Persons of Kanuga,

My name is Philip Cook, and I come to you from Greenville, SC. This will be my 12th year at camp and 3rd on staff. When I’m not singing camp ditties or pondering the random absurdities of life’s existence, I like to hang out on campouts, run in the field, and go crazy in Fox Building during evening programs.

I am a huge basketball fan and try my best to play with friends every day of the year. I also love watching movies in my spare time, and always keep up-to-date with what’s coming out in theaters. In case you were wondering, I do prefer Applejacks to Lucky Charms (apologies to all marshmallow lovers). Anyway, I can’t wait to meet everyone this year. Let’s have ourselves the best summer yet!

Best Wishes,
Philip

I am just finishing my freshman year at Guilford College and am currently thinking of majoring in Psychology with a minor in Spanish. I love doing service work, especially with kids, singing, canoeing, writing, sunflowers, and road trips. I have a black belt in American Freestyle Karate and really enjoyed coaching the competition team at my dojo.

This summer I am looking forward to spending time in the outdoors and so many new friends!

Love,
Sarah
