Ultimate Action's Ultimate Camp Experience

Last week, high school campers in Ultimate Action had an epic week of sailing, kayaking, canoeing, leadership development, and other Camp Whitman classic activities. We had an awesome group of campers who were up for anything, and who were great friends with each other by the end of the week.

Meet the Camp Staff: Amber's Camp Whitman Experience

Amber as a Moonlight Mystery counselor in 2011. 

How many years were you a camper at Camp Whitman? 

5 years.  I did 3rd grade camp, then I came back for water rec, art camp, and music camp.

What was your favorite camp activity as a camper?

I liked swimming because we didn't have a pool when I was growing up, so the idea of going swimming every day was SO AWESOME!

What's your favorite camp activity as a counselors? 

Cookouts. It's close between that and tie-dye and ice cream, but I feel like with the cookouts the campers always have a good time, and it's never the same twice.

Do you have a least favorite part of camp?

Showers...haha. Um...getting adjusted to the early mornings is hard, but it's worth it.

What advice do you have for first-time campers?

Double check your packing list. When I was a camper I always forgot essential things like a hairbrush. Your experience is much more fun if you have all the things you need.

If you could be any animal, what would you be?

An intense flying animal. Does a pterodactyl count? I'm scared of heights, so as a pterodactyl I could fly without being afraid of heights.
