Andrea “Squire” Scrivener ~ CounsellorBirthday: May 15th 1990Interests/Cool things about me: I’m going to my first year of university next year for sciences at Guelph. I like swimming, running and tennis. In my spare time I lounge on the outside my school with my friends and I read a lot.Favorite female camp person: I had a lot of counselors that I looked up to as a camper because of the amazing enthusiasm , confidence, strength and individuality that they exemplified. People like Palais, Plinko, Match and Ciaran who were extremely positive role models have helped make me who I am today. Why I come to camp: Part of the reason camp is so important and why I come here is the tradition that I feel included in and that I want to pass on to my campers. I try to be the best counselor and the most positive role model I can be as a part of that tradition so that my campers can learn just as I did. Camp has always been an extremely important part of my life and has helped shaped who I am today. If I can help to have that same positive effect on a few campers then I know I’m doing a good job.

Rachel “Razzle” Reeves ~ CounsellorBirthday: April 25th 1991Interests: I love music and going to see it live is the best way to do that. I play rugby on my high school team and was also really involved in the drama programme this year. (Surprised?) I also really love to write and my dream is to one day become a magazine editor!Favorite female camp person: It would have to be Match or Burkz. They’re both amazing people and I feel like my life would be a little less fun without them in it.Why I come to camp: I feel safe here, and I grow a lot as a person each summer I spend here.

Paige “Teal” Betts ~ CounsellorBirthday: October 5th, 1990I’ve been coming to camp for 8 years, 5 as a camper, 1 as an LIT, and now 2 on staff. I got my camp name Teal because I used to travel to Bermuda every summer and the water colour there is a deep saphire blue. Way out deep but closer to shore its an aquamarine colour...and so...aquamarine - aqua - Teal!!! I’m sure you’ll find a lot of cool things about me once you get to know me, but for now I will give you one...My favourite camp person is A-2. She was one of my counsellors my first year at teen week and I had an amazing week. She’s an extremely amazing woman with an unstoppable passion for dance. She showed me that it is okay to be crazy, silly, funny etc. and to have a passion for something. I came to camp my first year because my mom had just signed me up but ever since then I’ve come back and I’m so happy I do. Cairn has become one of my favourite places on earth. Its a place I know I can be myself without judgement, share my faith openly, and be able to have loads of fun and all the friends, love and support that I need. I believe camp is so important because without it I wouldn’t be the person I am today. When I first came to camp I wouldn’t dress up, get up in front of everyone or be outgoing. That has obviously changed now. I love it here because I am comfortable with the people and my surroundings. That’s what I truly need to be myself.
