We are pleased to welcome Ella back to camp for her second summer. Ella is like the cool older sister who dominates on the footie pitch, shreds on the snowboard, and knows all the best music. Since camp, she’s been traveling around the world and will surely have tons of stories to tell. We’re looking forward to many more songs around the campfire with Ella on the guitar.
