Meet the 2018 Staff! - Part 1
Matt Honsberger
It's time to get to know your 2018 staff!
Today, we'd like you to say hello to
Hiccup, Zukes, Sympa, Ripple and Cheerio!

Hiccup
I’m so so so excited to be working at camp this summer, I can’t wait to be back giving campers the best week EVER!! I love camp and I can’t imagine not being there this summer doing crazy camp things. Honestly, I don’t know what I would be doing if I wasn’t at camp (probably staring at my phone).
I hope I see some familiar faces and lot of new ones too!! I hope they get everything they expect and more from their week at camp, while learning new skills, and having a blast!

Zukes
I have been part of the camp family since I was seven years old, and since my first day as a camper, I have known the magic of camp and the incredible community here. Camp allows me to be my best self, to grow as a leader and be the most authentic version of me. It challenges me to grow as a leader in an incredibly supportive environment. Everything I love about myself, I learned from camp. Camp makes me strong. Camp makes me confident. Camp allows me to share my passions and help others find theirs. I have experienced insane amounts of joy because of Pearce Williams, and I can’t wait to introduce others to this incredible place.
I hope that the campers of 2018 will experience the BEST summer of their lives. I hope they build new friendships that will last a lifetime. I hope they discover a part of themselves they never knew they could be. I hope the campers of summer 2018 have a staff that is committed to doing what needs to be done to show them the most incredible camp experience they have ever had. I hope campers discover the joy of singing silly songs at campfire, and the peace of watching the stars from an open field. I hope that their lives would be changed in way that only camp can. That the campers of 2018 fall in love with this place we call Pearce Williams, and that they would become the campers of 2019.

Sympa
I joined Pearce Williams because I love working with children and making special memories happen. Pearce Williams has given me an opportunity to learn, laugh and love with everyone around and experience the unique wonders that we offer.
In 2018 I’m excited to create moments with the campers and make they’re time at Pearce Williams one in a million. I have many ideas on how to bring these moments to live and I can’t wait to share these with everyone!

Ripple
I decided to work at camp this summer because I have a huge passion for working with kids! I've been babysitting since I was twelve years old and I also take care of kids for my seasonal job in the fall. I plan on keeping kids in my life forever. Another reason I have chosen to work at camp this summer is that last summer I had the privilege to be a CIT and I can easily say that it was the best summer of my life! I am extremely excited to spend another summer at camp this year! I know it will be amazing!!
My hope for the campers this summer is that each and every one of them has the best summer of their lives. My goal is to provide many special moments in the week I spend with all the amazing children who will be at camp this summer. My hope for these campers is that everyone can be happy and feel safe and be themselves. I'm looking forward to meeting and spending time with all the kids that will be at camp this summer!:

Cheerio
I decided to work at Pearce Williams because it's a second home to me, and there's no place in the world that I would rather be.
My hope for the campers of 2018 is that they experience moments that they will remember for the rest of their lives.
I still have moments that I remember from going to camp as a kid, and they were a major part of me coming to Pearce Williams for the first time in the summer of 2015.
