Two years ago I headed the photography program there and this time I’m back, sharing the duties with another very talented photographer, Ben Boyd.

There’s lots of great things about the camp, but two stick out in my mind from a councelor’s point of view. I feel like I’m working in a talent pool that is deeper than the ocean – there are musicians, artists, dancers, writers here who are so incredible – and all seem to be without the ego that makes it all about them – to a person its all about the kids who come here.

The kids are the other amazing thing – this is a total no judgment zone. Everyday after lunch kids go up on stage and perform – they sing, dance, play instruments, act out skits ( some rehearsed, many imprompteau), do monologues, read poetry…the list goes on almost forever.

So when not teaching photography, I get the opportunity to photograph some absolutely amazing people. Today I’ll introduce you to Sophie…a photographer, musician, singer…and person extrodinaire!
