It's almost summer, so we thought meeting our School’s Out Summer Camp 2022 counsellors would be a great way to get you even more excited about the camp!

As a way of getting to know them better, we asked them three questions and here is what they had to say...

Laurie Allardes

1. What made you want to be a camp counsellor?
