Alice Matthews

Activity Instructor - 2nd Year - England

wisconsin-boys-camp

Hiiii, I’m Alice and I’m 22 from England, currently in my final year of University in Leeds, studying Physical Education with Outdoor Education. This will be my second summer at the friendly confines :p I’m sure you will find me all over the place, from the top of the zip-line to archery! I will also be helping to develop and deliver The Survival Skills program for its second year! See you all in June for another amazing summer :))

Hey! My name is Rachael, I am 22 years old, from south east London, England. This is my first Sumer at Menominee and I am so excited to meet all of you, and get to experience camp for the first time. I will be spending a lot of my time at camp down at the waterfront! Currently at home I am a full time Lifeguard, and I have been since I was 16 years old. In 2022, I qualified as a swim teacher to help share my passion for the water to children by being a vital starting point in their water journeys. I cannot wait to be able to share my passion of the water with you at Menominee, and I cannot wait for you guys to teach me some tricks I know that you're hiding up your sleeves. Outside of water-sports, I love to roller-skate. I support Michigan Wolverines (even though I have no understanding of American football.. just yet!), and I love Taylor Swift! So let's 'shake it off' at Camp Menominee and 'just keep swimming' our way through the summer. Go Green!

Hey I’m Nate Vass and I’m 17 from Northbrook, IL. I’m heading into my Senior year at Glenbrook North High School. This’ll be my 6th year at camp, but just my first as a counselor. This summer I’ll be a counselor in a cabin with campers. I’m also excited that I’ll get the opportunity to be coaching my favorite sports. I’ll mainly be coaching Lacrosse and Softball, but I’ll also be helping out at Basketball and Baseball. Whether it's teaching the fundamentals, organizing drills, or coaching and reffing the campers during games, I'll be there to make sure everyone has a blast. Camp has always been a big part of my life, and I can't wait to share my passion with all the campers. I’m excited for an awesome summer.

Hey everyone! I'm Charlie "Chuck" Eisenberg and I'm 17 from Highland Park Illinois. This summer will be my 8th at CM but my first on staff. As a JC, I can't wait to take on this transition from camper to counselor. You can find me out hitting softballs at the Bob Bender Senior Diamond, out at Al Lewis playing some baseball, and getting shots up at the Dunleavey, near basketball courts, and of course the GreenHouse. I can't wait to see familiar faces and meet new ones at CM 2024!

As a Camp Counselor, my responsibilities include creating a safe, enjoyable, and enriching environment for campers while fostering positive relationships, teamwork, inclusivity and development of social skills among the group. Get ready to defy gravity and heights in the climbing wall as you will all meet me there as well as in other activities and sports to have tons of fun!

Counselor - 1st Year - Australia

wisconsin-boys-camp

Hello, my name is Joshua Gersbach I’m from Perth ,Australia. This is my first year at camp. I am very excited to experience new things and to travel. I will be doing the climbing wall and rifling, as well as some water activities. I’m super excited to be part of this team, and gain the life experience of being a camp counselor. I like hiking fishing, four-wheel driving and hunting. I also attempt to go surfing sometimes time to time, I’m not very good, but I think that if you’re not good at something that’s all the more reason to do it more. I hope that I can have a positive impact on campers and help them learn some skills that could help them with anything they might want to do.
