A warm hello from Camp Kohahna, our happy summer home located on the breathtaking Sleeping Bear National Lake Shore! My name is Kathleen Moyer, and I am pleased to continue to serve camp in the role of Assistant Director. I am so grateful to live and work year round in an environment that is prime for plenty of outdoor fun while still offering campers and staff a favorite spot full of peaceful places for quiet repose. Originally from Birmingham, Michigan, I am a graduate of Denison University where I double majored in Communication and History. Camp has always been a dear home for me, and I’m so pleased to work for an organization that focuses on character growth and spiritual development through the practical application of Christian Science. Here at Kohahna and Leelanau we make the best friends and create lasting moments that change lives. Camp Kohahna is a treasure, and I feel so blessed to be a part of your child’s camp experience! Click here for a full bio.  I’m pleased to introduce the Kohahna Staff below-let’s welcome the Sky Team 2011!

Hi! My name is Hillary Moser, and I’m thrilled to be back for my sixth Kohahna summer!  In my third year on staff, I will again have the best of both worlds: living in a cabin with campers while supporting the head staff in North Star during activity periods.  After a semester abroad in England this fall, I will graduate from Principia College with a BA in English Literature.  I’m from Chicago, but I prefer to spend my summers on the other side of Lake Michigan.  Kohahna ladies, get ready for another amazing summer of spiritual growth, friendships, and fun!

My name is Kelsie Brook and I am from South Sutton, New Hampshire.  I graduated in 2009 from Principia College with a BA in Political Science and minors in Theater and Asian Studies. This will be my tenth summer at camp and my fifth year on staff. I have served as the Waterskiing and Sailing Counselor, and this summer, for the second year, I will be the CT Counselor.  Undoubtedly, CT summer is the most memorable, challenging, and developmentally important summer a young woman will spend at camp.  I believe Kohahna is a unique place where true character comes alive and our faith in Christian Science becomes whole.  This summer I hope to model effective leadership and teach character education to provide an experience that will prepare the CTs to be leaders, outdoors-women, teachers, women of integrity, and so much more.  I so look forward to working with the ladies this summer-there is so much good to give and to experience!

Hello one and all! My name is Katie Duntley, and I’m from St. Louis, MO.  I will be the Kohahna Photographer and Canoeing counselor for 2011! This will be my 14th summer on the shores of Lake Michigan and I am SO excited to be back! I graduated last spring from Principia College, and I have spent the last year working at the Leelanau Outdoor Center and traveling in Israel, the West Bank, and Jordan. While enjoying my time abroad, I was consistently cherishing the beauty and sisterhood of Kohahna and I couldn’t wait to come back! I look forward to capturing on camera the profound and joyful moments of your daughter’s camp experience as well as sharing those moments with you through the camp website. It’s going to be an incredible summer and I can’t wait to be a part of the Kohahna love once again!

My name is Kaleigh Wilson and I am from Oakville, Ontario, Canada. I am a June 2011 Principia College graduate with a major in Theatre. This summer is going to be my 12th summer at camp and my 4th summer on staff, and I am so excited to be teaching Drama and Archery! In addition to all the fun and freshness of Drama class this summer, we will be doing a musical during the four week session. We are excited for performances in both sessions, and Drama is going to be really special this summer as always! I have grown and learned so much during all my years at camp and I can’t wait to help many other girls do the same thing.

Originally from the Dallas, TX area, after one snowy season of being introduced to the joys of “true” winter, I haven’t looked back.  I became the LOC Program Coordinator in the fall of 2010 and I am excited to return for my 3rd summer as a Kohahna counselor. I am thrilled to be one of the Trips counselors again- it’s guaranteed to be the best summer yet!

Hello, my name is Kayle Williams, and I can hardly begin to convey how excited I am to be a part of the Kohahna Trips program this year!  As a graduate of Arizona State University, I have most recently been living and working in Boston, Massachusetts, where I have put to use my degree in Urban Planning & Architectural Studies. I’m thrilled to be part of the Sky Team 2011 to again pursue my interest in outdoor and character education. This is my fourteenth year at camp, and fourth year on staff- I was 7 years old when I first laid eyes on Kohahna and I have been in love with it ever since! Kohahna has taught me so much about strength and character that I cannot wait to share those lessons and memories with the young women joining us at camp this summer!  As for the Trips program, whether you are a beginner or an advanced outdoors-woman, I can guarantee that we will be able to offer you both challenging and fun adventures all summer long!

Hi, my name is Kiersten Andersen and I am originally from Sterling Heights, Michigan. I am an Education and Sociology major at Principia College where I will be a junior this fall. This is my 10^th year at Kohahna and my first year on staff! I’ll be teaching Landsports, and I’m really looking forward to getting out and playing a variety of sports with the women of Kohahna. I love Camp and feel it is important because it sets the foundation for girls of all ages to become caring, contributing, and loving members of society.  Camp teaches girls how to build strong relationships with others based on their understanding of their relationship with God. At Kohahna, we are all learning and growing in our understanding and demonstration of Christian Science-it’s such a gift!

HELLO KOHAHNA! My name is Joanna Patzwald and this will be my ninth year at camp! I was a camper for seven years, I worked in the kitchen last year, and this will be my first year on staff. I will be teaching Riflery and a little bit of Archery, so come on out for some fun action! Not many girls can say that they know how to handle a rifle or a bow and arrow, and I want to teach our Kohahna women more than just the basic fundamentals. We will focus on safety and how to respect and enjoy these activities. I grew up in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, and I will be a sophomore at Principia College in the fall. Camp has always been the place where my heart is, and I cannot imagine a better way to spend my summer than on the shores of Lake Michigan with the Skys, the Sands, and the Pines!
