This is my fourth year on staff and my 15th summer at camp and I could not be more excited to be back! I’m looking forward to the beautiful Michigan weather and another summer on the shores of Lake Michigan. If I could be a side character on any TV show it would definitely be Phineas and Ferb!

If I were a side character on a TV show, I’d probably fit right into The Magic School Bus as Ms. Frizzle’s teaching assistant because that's a no brainer. Probably as a class pet like Liz the Lizard--she's always helping out. I am looking forward to sunny days running around camp laughing and probably playing bombardment, and actually all the other evening activities because they're the best!

Hi! I am Paige Ouellette from St.Louis, MO. I attend Principia College, studying a double major in political science and digital media journalism, with a minor in business administration. This will be my first year at Kohanna!!! If I were a side character on a TV show, I would be Midge from Barbie Life in the Dream House. I look forward to seeing campers' growth throughout their time at camp, through the friendships and experiences they form.

Hi I’m Bear! I wear one and a half white socks. I love to stand still to enjoy and take in my surroundings. I just go with the flow! My hobbies include standing in the corner of the barn and contemplating my next meal while always being a good boy. I love Stella sooo much!

Hi I’m Charlie! I love to graze. My best friend is Gunner, we love to stay together. I’m dark brown with a dark brown mane with the softest and shiniest fur. I love the little campers and being groomed. When you clean my hooves I’ll watch over your shoulder.

Hey I’m Gunner! I am light brown with one socks. I love to run around the pasture! While I haven’t been at camp for very long, I have the routine down. My favorite part of the day is breakfast. I am very proactive as I wait outside the barn to watch for Anika in the morning.

What’s up y’all?! It’s me, Kuzco! I love to smack my lips and scuff my feet, it’s impossible for me to stand still. I’m a practiced escape artist especially to get out of my halter. I’m a handsome boy, dark brown with a black mane. Anika tells me I’m a handsome boy but I already know.

Hello I’m Millie! This is my first summer at camp and I’m so so excited. I love to graze and look so fashionable wearing my sunflower halter. I’m tall and light brown and also have soft fur. I’m a messy eater, Anika tells me to eat from the bucket but I can’t help but eat my food off the ground. Again I’m just so excited for my first summer with the campers!

Hello I’m Stella! I am brown and wear four white socks. My favorite piece of clothing is my zebra print blanket (it’s top of the line). I am a girl boss and the leader of the herd. I love my boyfriend Bear, when he is out riding I will make it clear that I don’t like to be apart.
