Camp Counsellors 2011

I feel extremely lucky to have such enthusiastic talented staff this summer.

Returning for her fourth year with the camps is Mikaela Law.  Mikaela is now a 11th grade student at Sir John A High School who brings her keen interest in science and nature once again to the camps.  New this year are Arielle Legere and Mandai Mohan.

Arielle lives on Indian Point and grew up loving to explore the shores of the bay.  Arielle is an 11th grade student at the Halifax Grammar School and, at the ripe old age of 17, is an accomplished singer, song writer and actor.  She is keen on sharing these talents with campers this summer.

Mandai and I met while working together at the Museum of Natural History many years ago.   At the time, Mandai was as enthusiastic about looking after and talking about the butterflies at the Museum to children as I was about looking after and talking to children about Gus the tortoise back in those days.  Realizing our shared love for teaching children, we both became elementary school teachers.  Here we both are now, nearly a decade later, together again with the same enthusiasm we shared for the Museum now for these summer camps.   Mandai is an elementary classroom and art teacher at the Halifax Independent School.  She loves nature and children and is looking very much to the hot sunny days with the camper summer.

See you all soon!
