When I was younger, I used to start my countdown around 300 days before.

My first summer camp experience: Camp Nihan when I was 8 years old. I was a Blue Bird with the Campfire Girls. I loved camp so much I begged my mother to become a counselor so that I could go all summer! My hero: The person who influenced me more than any other was my Nana. She was a person who had unwavering faith in other people, always. She never attended& high school, going to work as a domestic at age 14. But as the 12th of 13 children, she put her younger brother through college. Her entire life, she took care of other people: her ailing parents, her children, her siblings as they aged, her grandchildren, and her husband, who died at home, just as he wanted. She found joy in very small, tender moments.To this day, there aren't many things I enjoy more than a fresh Jersey tomato, folding clean towels, fireflies, or a brand new box of crayons. I learned that from her.

Where are you from? Burlington, VT What do you do when not working at Songa? Study Video Game Art and Animation at Champlain College. What do you love about Songa? The friendships I've built both as a camper and a staff really have lasted a life time. As a camper, Songa was a place where I was free to make my own decisions and to try new things (and sometimes fail at them) without consequence. That freedom really made a difference to me as a kid. I love Stones because I can be super competative and that game is a great outlet for it. I usually end up skinning my knees but its worth it. I also love movie night, because movies are meant to be watched with 100 of your closest friends laughing, crying, singing and cheering along with you. My favorite music:& Florence and the Machine, Pearl Jam and AC/DC. My dream job when I was 12: I wanted to be a paleontologist becuase I really liked dinosaurs. But I quickly discovered I have very little patience for digging, so now I just draw them.

It was very challenging, but it was also a lot of fun and made a great story.

The Candlelight Ceremony is the best event. It seems to neatly wrap up what Songadeewin's all about. My favorite season: Spring, after long winters in Vermont the newness of greenery returning is THE BEST. My favorite memory: &For a high school summer job I was an assistant porpoise trainer at an amusement park. After the crowds left at closing time we were allowed to swim with our dolphins - a life-time joyous memory.

Dorothy Mammen - Assistant Director
Where are you from? I have lived in Middlebury, Vermont, for 28 years. I suppose since I moved here from out of state I can never be a &real Vermonter,& but to me, Vermont is home! What do you do when not working at Songa?&I live aboard a 42' sailboat, enjoying simple living and exploring the east coast of the US and the Caribbean. I also love to quilt.&My hero: Eleanor Roosevelt, for sharing so much inspiration, such as &Do one thing every day that scares you.& Whether the challenge is large or small, and whether you succeed or fail, with this philosophy you will always keep learning and growing, discovering you are more capable than you knew, and trying new strategies. My favorite music:&I love folk music, oldies rock, a cappella, and gospel. In fact, just thinking about this question, I jumped up to put Joan Baez on the stereo! My most recent adventure: We bought a 42' sailboat that will be our home for the next 3-5 years and sailed it from Florida to Rhode Island during two-and-a-half weeks in May. We made two offshore passages and spent 5 days in the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW).& Every single day brought a new experience, new learning, new challenge. One day I woke up to a sound like a squeaky toy. It was a pod of dolphins surrounding the boat, and apparently they had a lot to say! My favorite things to do:&I studied behavioral ecology and ornithology in college and graduate school, doing ecological research projects involving goldfinches, chickadees, and red-winged blackbirds. I love birds!&The best advice I ever received: Once I was agonizing over a big life decision. A friend advised me to make a 3-year or a 5-year plan. How liberating! You don't have to plan your whole life out. (In fact, if you are really living, you can't!)
Sophia Manzi
Where are you from? I am from Middlebury/Burlington, Vermont. What do you do when not working at Songa? I study writing, language, and visual arts at Sarah Lawrence College. When I am not buried in papers and stress I like to be with friends. My first summer camp experience: I was around 6 years old when my family went camping in Shelburne. The thing I remember most was eating powdered donuts for breakfast. My favorite season: I really enjoy fall, especially in New England. I love seeing all the colorful leaves in the trees and it's still pretty warm. The smell of the air is really sweet that time of year. My favorite music:&I love listening to music, a few of my favorites include Radiohead, CocoRosie, Beyonce, and Bombay Bicycle Club.
Nancy Margolin
Where are you from? I've lived in Carrboro, NC (next to Chapel Hill) for the last 21 years. Before that, Chicago, Burlington, VT, Boston...What do you do when not working at Songa? After nearly 30 years of working full-time as a librarian in school, university, and special libraries, I am now working part-time as a librarian/editor at a company in Durham, NC. This gives me time to be a volunteer tutor and to be a mentor with local students. What do you love about Songa? I love that the Songa of today still promotes the same core values that were part of the &old& Songa: independence, self-confidence, tolerance, cooperation, responsibility, and collaboration. As a former camper in the 1960s, and as a parent of daughters who went to the &new& Songa, I see a wonderful blend of the best of old traditions with new sensitivities and community/global awareness. This will be my first season on the Songa staff and I will be overseeing the Wangan Room -- tripping gear and food. I am looking forward to everything related to that, to &experiencing& the trips vicariously. I especially loved hiking when I was a camper, and hope to do some of that this year. Our family tries to include a Camel's Hump hike as often as we can. I am also hoping to organize the Songa library in the new lodge this summer and to promote fun summer reading! My first summer camp experience: I was 12 in 1965 when I first went to Songadeewin on Lake Willoughby. It was my first trip by myself, by train, and my first visit to Vermont. My most recent adventure: I recently reconnected with my Belgian AFS host family (after 41 years!) in NYC. It was very exhilarating (and sentimental) to explore NYC together and to introduce my 24-year-old daughter (Songa staff Claire Superak) to my host sister's 24 year old daughter. My favorite things to do:&I love to travel by myself! It's likely that my experiences at Songa in the 1960s enabled me to become an AFS exchange student in high school, to take a six month solo bicycle trip in Europe in the late 1970s, and to do a two week Spanish immersion family stay in Mexico my mid-50s! I love to garden and to go on bike rides in the rural areas outside of Chapel Hill, NC. I have also recently taken up trail running with my husband and a large, diverse group of other runners in the area. I really enjoy it, no matter how slowly I go! I also love reading, including juvenile and young adult books.

Where are you from? New Albany, OH, but my family now lives in Atlanta, GA. What do you do when not working at Songa? I am a student at Williams College in Massachusetts. I read a ton and run Cross Country and Track for them! My favorite music:& My favorite band is The Band from the 1960s and 1970s. They have a very cool mix of country and a full band and interesting lyrics that I really enjoy. Also, I am a sucker for happy-sounding music. &You make my dreams come true& by Hall and Oates is my favorite song still because it just makes me start dancing every time it comes on.
Claudia&Mihm
Where are you from? Pittsburgh, PA What do you do when not working at Songa? I am studying Computer Science and Child Development at Tufts University.

We are adventurers by nature and love to take in new experiences both around FL and around the world. What do you love about Songa? My husband and his brother attended Keewaydin throughout their youth. When it came time for our kids to have their camp experience I was overwhelmed with the joy and friendships that it brought them, and challenges to be self reliant and confident individuals. I came on staff at the same time they started, and also had the benefit of seeing what wonderful role models the cabin/trip staff are, and what comprehensive training the leadership provides them.& It is a magnificently led organization that teaches health of mind, body, and spirit!!& For our children it can summed up in one world...MAGICAL! As a mom observing the growth of the campers throughout the summer, I just love hearing each girl state what she is proud about at the end of season camp fire circle...gives me chills.&My most recent adventure:&This past academic year we lived in the Tuscan village of Lucca, Italy. We did not have a car for the year, so it was a joy to experience the lifestyle of biking and walking everywhere. Ella and Gabriel were able to attend the local Italian public school and in addition take art, music and theater in the town. I can&t live without:&My yoga practice...it keeps me centered, balance, strong, and healthy so that I can be at my best for myself, my family, my community.The best advice I ever received: Dare to explore the unfamiliar...

As a child, I loved all the activities and I did them ALL! I tried everything. I thought camp was like one giant sleepover. I had more fun than any child should be allowed.

Once you have spent a summer at camp you will always carry a bit of it where ever you go and you will always be family. I love to canoe on Dunmore, hike, look at the stars at night, and enjoy the candle light service, Four Winds ceremony and Saturday Spectacular. My first summer camp experience: I was 5 months old!!

My favorite season: I love spring, and all the promise of warmth and new growth that comes with it. And of course, the advent of summer and camp is on the horizon.&My favorite things: I always need pets in my life.& Leaving my cocker spaniels and cat at home is the only downside of coming to camp. My last 5 cockers have all been rescue cockers which brings its own rewards.
