Anna on her way to camp

Hey Campers!!!

My name is Anna Forrester and this will be my eighth summer at Camp Kanuga! My summers as a camper, trailblazer, and JC have given me the most memorable experiences of my life and I am THRILLED to be returning as a counselor to make even MORE memories!

I am from Kingsport, Tennessee and will start my freshman year of college this fall at the University of Tennessee (GO VOLS!). I am a HUGE Tennessee fan so you will definitely see me representing the Orange and White. In college, I plan on going into an Art field (probably Studio Art or Graphic Design) or Education.

This summer I will be working with the climbing staff! I sincerely hope I can help campers expand their comfort zones, to reach new heights and goals. I love climbing because, no matter how high you climb, you have accomplished something!! That’s the way I feel about running too. Running is one of my FAVORITE THINGS. I run track for my high school and have completed three half marathons (running in another next Saturday!). I love dancing and singing (even though I’m not very good at either), making up silly words, waking up early, good hair days, drawing, creating, reading, listening to new music, meeting new people… the list goes on FOREVER.

Whether it’s Sunday Shine, hiking on Kanuga’s trails, meeting all y’alls’ beautiful faces, kum-ba-ya-ing, or making new friends, there is something new to be learned EVERY DAY. I hope you kiddos are as EXCITED, PUMPED, and THRILLED as I am!!! Can’t wait to meet each and every one of you!!
