Fridays with Franky: Our 2017 Staff, Part 2

Welcome back to another installment of introductions from our summer 2017 staff! We have been getting to know each other on Facebook and through emails, and summer feels closer every day. Don’t forget to play WeHaKee Staff BINGO with the card under the “Read More” cut at the end of this post, or from Facebook for a chance to win WeHaKee gear!

 

Hi guys

My name is Danika and I’m from South Africa. I’m currently not studying because I wanted to rather go to camp BUT will be attending NorthWest University in 2018, studying BSc Biological sciences with Chemistry and Physiology.

I love the outdoors – proper camping with hiking, swimming, singing you name it.

I’m an eleven-time national acrobatic gymnast. It is my passion and joy. I’m also infatuated by dancing and consider it as important as breathing.

I can’t wait to get to camp and meet every single one of you . I’m so excited! This will be my favourite year yet.

{ On a side note: My cousin Alex will also be attending WEHAKEE  }

Double Danika Fun Facts! 

• Favourite food – I LOVE “droëwors”. It is a South African delicacy. Basically it is raw sausage that is dried out and spiced. 
• If I could be any animal I would be an African Elephant because it is a symbol for strength and power.

Hello everyone! My name is Amanda, and I am so excited to be working at Wehakee this summer!

I am from St. Paul, MN, and currently a sophomore in nursing school at Viterbo University in La Crosse, WI.

I love singing, swimming, adventures, and Jesus. So excited to meet you all!

 
Amanda says:
-I’m most excited about being outdoors so much this summer and having the opportunity to form many new relationships with new people.

-My favorite food is pizza. 

-My favorite kind of music is folksy indie kind of stuff, like the Lumineers.

-I love to sing and enjoy leading Praise and Worship at my college.

Hi there! My name is Robyn and I am 19 years of age born on the 4th of July! I come all the way from the UK, Nottingham and I’m studying sports coaching and massage. I have many hobbies including; playing classical piano music, Lacrosse, horse riding and camping! However, I love most of all taking my two Springer Spaniels for long walks in the peak district.  I’ve never ventured the States before and can’t think of a better place to start my journey than at Camp WeHaKee!
 
 
Fun Fact: Robyn’s two partners in crime are her crazy Pigmey goats Kiszey and Dolly!
