​

Picture
Name/nicknames Samantha Cooney / Sam / Sammy Susan B. Anthony Joelseph Gordo McFly
What is your position at camp/how many years have you been at camp? I will be a counselor and this will be my ninth year out at camp! 
Who inspires you and why? Lately, I've been inspired by the words of St. Therese of Lisieux. She's inspired me to ask God big questions, and live out every day for him.
Worst possible ice cream flavor? Rusty Metal. So antique but so disgusting.
What are you rocking from your wardrobe? It's been a combination of only the highest end athleisure wear for the many international escapades I've pursued. Complete with the greasy hat, blister-inducing hiking boots, and giant rainbow wedding rings, I believe myself to be a fashion icon for the ages. They tried to put me on the cover of Vogue, but my legs were too long.
 What's the best piece of advice you can give to make Pine Hills Girls Camp 2020 the best year yet? Be recklessly yourself and open to what Jesus has in store for you! I can't wait to see you all there!
Name/nicknames: Jooty or Judy, and Jude the Dude are the most common ones haha! 
What is your position at camp/how many years have you been at camp? I will be a counselor and this will be my ninth year out at camp! This is my second year as a counselor and I have been at camp as a camper for three years and on staff for three! 
Who inspires you and why? My confirmation Sponsor, Sr. Eucharistia (once a counselor at Pine Hills) inspires me in her fire for God and her desire to be holy! Also, the girls in my grade who have dedicated their lives to Jesus and never, ever give up. Shout out to the Senior Service Team of 2018! 
Worst possible ice cream flavor? The worst possible ice cream flavor would be KALE ice cream! 
What are you rocking from your wardrobe? I love this question! Favorite thing from my wardrobe is my baseball caps that I like to wear backwards and my favorite New Balance sneaks!
What's the best piece of advice you can give to make Pine Hills Girls Camp 2020 the best year yet? The best advice I could give is to come into camp with an open mind and an expectant heart! We should never put limits on God and all the love he wants to pour into our lives! Also, you will leave camp with new best friends if you open yourself up! My best friends to this day came from meeting them as a camper at Pine Hills! ​

Name/Nickname: Emma Purdy. Emmet, Em, Erma, Worm:(, Emu, Eemer
What is your position at camp/how many years have you been at camp? COUNSELOR WoOhOo. This will be my third :) 
Who inspires you and why? MAMA T. She has been my favorite saint since 5th grade and she's my confirmation saint!! Literal queen. I aspire to be everything that she is. Also my amazing friends. Each and everyone of them been such a source of joy in my life and I SERIOUSLY do not know what I would do without them. 
Worst ice cream flavor: I am lactose intolerant SO ALL OF THEM. but if I had to pick one...superman ice cream. Not trying to be a party pooper BUT those artificial colors cannot be good for your system folks. 
What I am rocking from my Wardrobe: My nasty blue HIGH TOP vans that I got freshman year of High School.They have a hole and smell like toes. Nevertheless, I am determined to have them for the REST OF MY LIFE. Yes, I will be plan bringing them to camp :-) 
What's the best piece of advice you can give to make Pine Hills Girls Camp 2020 the best year yet? This is an important one. I think after everything that has happened these last couple of months from COVID we should ALL go into camp with an incredibly thankful heart and a spirit of gratitude. The Lord is good and He has blessed us with an opportunity to come together and to love Him and one another. Let's not overlook the beauty of what we get to do at camp. Let's lift our spirits HIGH to Him!!!!!!!

Mushrooms! 
5. What are you rocking from your wardrobe? 
My flowy, wild patterned pants!
Picture

This will be my 6th year at camp but my first as a counselor so I have pretty much been dreaming about this day since 7th grade!
3. Who is somebody you admire and why?
Katie Davis Majors is my role model in just about everything! She has an unparalleled heart for service and loves so radically and is just honestly the coolest person. If you don’t know who she is, you’ve gotta read her books ASAP!!
4. Worst possible pizza topping?
I am the world’s pickiest eater so I think pizza itself is an insult to food everywhere, but I am also terrified of anything with a mayonnaise-consistency so if you put the two together, that’d be EXTRA horrible.   
5. What are you rocking from your wardrobe?
The outfit in my picture is my go-to for most events, but I am also a fan of stealing my sisters’ clothes and pretending I found them in my drawer.

It’s really hard to just pick one person, but since I have to I’ll have to pick my mom (I know such a cliché). She’s always praying for me and gives me the best advice even when I don’t want to hear it. She always has my best interest at heart and cares so deeply for everyone around her, I hope I can be even half the mom she is someday!

Pineapple hands down *insert sick emoji*

3. Who is somebody you admire and why?
I greatly admire Winnie the Pooh. He has little brains and tends to get himself into all kinds of sticky situations. He is, however, a good-natured, wise, yellow-furred, honey-loving bear who loves spending time with his friends and making people laugh and smile. His quotes are simple, and beautiful and some I choose to live by. For example: "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That's why we call it the present."
4. Worst possible pizza topping?
Jalapeno peppers
5. What are you rocking from your wardrobe?

90% of what I wear is thrifted. It also appears I should have been born in the 90's, considering I dress from that era. :) Also onesies, scrunchies, fun crew socks, visors, and fanny packs are a personal favorite of mine out at camp.

4. Worst possible pizza topping?
I once saw someone put pickles on a pizza and that really grossed me out. Two great foods that should never be mixed.

4. Worst possible pizza topping?
Hmm… not going to lie I thought pretty hard on this one. But I came to the conclusion that scrambled eggs/ warheads (those ridiculously sour candies)  would not be super tasty on top of pizza… then again I’ve never tried it, so I cannot say this in full confidence but hypothetically speaking... NOPE!
5. What are you rocking from your wardrobe?
