Camp Name: Coach

Hi! I’m Lil “Coach” Hirdes and I will be the Nurse for Session D this summer. This is my 13th year at Camp Kawartha and I am so excited I’m counting down the weeks! I enjoy the two week sessions at camp so much because I really get to know the campers and I’ve been around so long, I’ve watched at least half the counselors grow up there too! (although at camp there are no hard rules about growing up….we all get to be kids while we’re there).

I am so proud to be part of Camp Kawartha I wanted to be involved all year round, so this year I have joined the Board of Directors and I get to learn about all sorts of new aspects of Camp and how we can all be Stewards for the environment every day of the year. My picture shows me next to a planter at work, which we did as part of a contest, and our planter is designed as Pooh’s honey pot and will hopefully attract pollinators to it. It gives me a chance to share our environmental message at work too!
