My first summer at Green Chimneys was the 2021 camp season.
My favorite memory was definitely the moment that I saw the returning campers from the year before. They remembered and recognized me, and getting to see how much they grew up is one of the most beautiful things I experienced at camp.
Camp gives me happiness, being in contact with wonderful kids, with nature, with animals all day long makes a great day—having all those things at work makes me feel so grateful and blessed. Not everybody gets the chance to work at a place like this.
My favorite songs are “The Great Big Moose” and “Peanut Butter Reese’s Cup”.

Crowned the best for falconry in medieval times, gyrfalcons were once reserved for kings. As the largest falcon in the world, with exquisite plumage ranging from bright white to deep charcoal, gyrs are revered for their powerful skill of flight. Their long wings make hunting waterfowl from 3,000-feet-high a feasible and fantastical feat. This falcon was flown in the sport of falconry for several years.
