Grizzly
Staff Coordinator |
| Hello Good People! My Name is Grizzly and I am the Staff Coordinator for the 2012 Camping Season. I am a graduating senior at Bowie State University, in Bowie MD. I am a native of Washington D.C and Farmville VA. I am a Professional Vocalist and Choral Director and I’ve had the opportunity to share the stage with many musical greats across all genres. I have been in 4-H (Holiday Lake) for 15 years! I Love 4-H, and I live by my 4-H Pledge! 4-H has been a blessing to my life and I would be remised if I didn’t pass it on! I love my Staff, and if you need me, I’m there! Let's have a great summer! I live by this quote, “We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” Let's create new paths, helping one another and lets make camp Bleed GREEN! |

8-Track
Archery |
Howdy! My name is 8 Track aka Ocho and if you didn’t already know, I am awesome; SWAG! I am originally from Prince Edward County (Go Eagles). I am attending Virginia Tech, (Hokie, Hokie, Hokie, Hi!) where my major is Communications with a Public Relations Concentration. I have been going to camp for a long time now and have enjoyed every single moment there. This will be my second year teaching archery and I am so excited to be coming back to see new and familiar faces! I love music, which is why oldie but goodies have my heart. I do have to say I love to dance a little more!! Most importantly, I am not afraid to be who I am where ever I go. I just hope to be a role model to all the kids that I come across this year; and I cannot wait for another year of camp! I guess you can just say, “I got that 4H spirit up in my head, here in my hands, deep in my heart, and all over me to STAY!” #OchoOut |

Chopper
Leather Craft
|
Hello Everyone! My name is Chopper for those who did not know and I teaching Leather Crafts for the second year in a row. I live in Nelson County Virginia but graduated from Amherst County High School. I am currently attending school at West Liberty University in West Virginia. I have to say 4-H has been one of the greatest experiences in my life. I am so glad to be a member of such a great organization. I cannot wait until this summer and most importantly I cannot wait to see the new and returning campers ! Badge once shared with me this quote, “When i leave this world, I'll leave no regrets, [I'll] leave something to remember, so they won't forget i was here.” I hold that dear to my heart; because Badge and other staff members will never be forgotten for all they have done. I tell you this, every kid that I meet at camp is truly a blessing. Every child has there own story and I am all about finding out what they are willing to share. I always say we are more alike, than we are different in this world. :) Can't wait to see you all ! SEE YOU SOON! 4H'ers TILL WE DIE!

Tussin
Canoeing |
Hey 4Her's!!! Tussin is my name and paddling is my thing. I will be your canoeing instructor for the second year in a row. I'm from Farmville and I attend Southside Virginia Community College. I am into all sorts of sports but Basketball is my favorite. Words cannot describe how excited I am about 4H this year! I am looking forward to not only working with the other staff members, but also creating new memories with you all. 4H is a place where not only friends are made but also a place to learn new skills. Last year was not only my first year on staff, but also my first year ever going to 4H. 4H is a part of my life now and I hope everyone who comes to this camp can say the same thing. At camp it is okay to be crazy and have fun. Singing songs and doing doing crazy dances is what I live for. Well I cannot wait to see you all......“Holla Holla... Day Lake, Staff Out!” |

Danielle
Beginning Swimming

| Shaaaa Shaaa Shaaa Boo Ya! Hey Yall! Some of you may know me and others of you may not but my name is Danielle and I’m your new beginning swimming instructor from Greene country VA. I’ve been counting down the days for the past 5 months till the moment I see you’re shiningly happy faces here at “THE LAKE!” Together we are going to have some outstanding fun and do some learning (P.S. when I say learning I mean mostly having fun, making friends, learning teamwork, and so on.) I’m currently a student at James Madison University and studying the lovely subjects of Chemistry, Biology, and Calculus. I have been swimming since about the time I could walk and I have helped with 4-H camp swimming for the past 3 years as a teen. I’m also into sports, I played Varsity softball in high school, and I love playing volleyball and soccer. I am a 4-H All-Star and ready to get down to business singing about moose, penguins, or any other song you have, just like me, randomly been singing over and over and OVER in your head, no worries, you won’t have to hide it any longer. See YOU soon! |
