Fridays with Franky: Meet Our 2015 Staff, Round 3

Hey everyone! I’m Eleanor Babcock and I am originally from Minnetonka, Minnesota. I currently go to the College of St. Benedict just outside of St. Cloud, Minnesota. I am an Environmental Studies major and a Communications minor. I love to run and nordic ski and literally do anything and everything to get outside and be active! Here is a grad photo of me and my sister from last spring! I am so stoked to meet all of you this coming June!

Hi, I’m Caroline, but I’m known as just “Care,” too. I’m from Burlington, Wisconsin but go to school and live at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse where I am currently a sophomore – about to be a junior – studying Interpersonal and Organizational Communication Studies. I love hiking and the outdoors (I came to La Crosse for the beautiful bluffs), essentially all team sports, and being in the water (especially kayaking). I love the forests in Northern Wisconsin more than anything. I’ve been going Up North to Hayward for my whole life and I’m so excited to be going up there again, but this time as a part of a program. This is my first year as a camp counselor and I’m absolutely ecstatic. The picture is of me kayaking with friends. (I’m in the middle.)

Hello, I’m Hailey. My friends refer to me as the humorous-outgoing-welcoming-adventure seeker of the group. I am originally from Apple Valley, Minnesota. Currently, I am a sophomore Marketing Communications major at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, a DJ on the campus radio station, an intern for the campus photographer, and I am involved in a little bit of everything else. I love meeting new people and I am beyond excited for this summer with all of you!

Hi everyone! My name is Marie. I have often been told that I am very joyful, but also very thoughtful/contemplative. Originally, I am from Des Moines, Iowa, but I have been attending Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas for my undergrad in Art. I am hoping to become an Art Therapist someday. Right now, I am a Resident Assistant at Benedictine College, a member of the Artist Forum, a small group leader for a group of women in my dorm. My greatest passions are my faith, art, dance, and learning how to love people. I also love outdoor activities and exploring my surroundings by taking little adventures. In the picture on the right, I was on a walk with two of my close friends down by the Missouri River. I look forward to meeting all of you!

Hi, I’m Hannah. I am currently a sophomore at the University of St Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota studying music business. I’ve been at camp all my life, it’s the greatest place in the world.
