Hi! I'm kenji. I'm 25 years old, half Japanese and live in Guadalajara, Mexico.
I like playing sports (played basketball, baseball, racquetball, and tennis), creative arts, music, movies and meeting new people. I'm very open minded so I like to learn just about anything and make the best out of every scenario.
This is my first time going to the camp so I'm excited for this new experience! I'll be helping at the tennis courts assisting with coaching and as counselor, but I'm mostly there to make the richest experience for everyone at the camp including myself, help with everything that I can and make this the best summer for the campers. My mission is to help mold the younger minds into the best version of themselves, to help them overcome their fears and insecurities so they can unlock their full potential.

Hi guys! My name is James King, I'm 21 years old and come from Adelaide, Australia. Growing up in the sunburnt country, I've spent probably half my life in the water. Though saying I was IN the water is a lie, as I spent most of this time ON the water. I know what you're thinking... no I cannot walk on water, but I can waterski pretty well. And on top of being a counsellor, this skill is what I plan to teach to the boys of Menominee. Water-skiing is a highly rewarding and exhilarating activity that I can't wait to share with them. I'm a pretty creative person and this is reflected in my hobbies. I enjoy playing piano, creative writing and keeping fit. I also love hanging out with mates and am no doubt going to make more at camp. This is gonna be a great summer and I can't wait to meet you all!
