We’re excited to introduce you to Kyle Henry from Australia! We’re thrilled to bring some more international counselors to Camp Spring Creek this summer. Kyle is sure to keep us all laughing this summer and his flair for the dramatics should make skit night a blast. Please join us in welcoming Kyle!
Tell us a little about where you are from, describing it for those who are likely never to have been there before. If you have out-of-town visitors, where do you take them?
Born and raised in Melbourne, Australia. Top 3 things to visit in the city are the beaches, the Eureka tower, and the Queen Victoria market. Melbourne is super multicultural so there are so many great restaurants with cuisines from all around the world. We're known for our laneways throughout the city that are filled with awesome street art and hidden coffee shops, I don't drink coffee but apparently we have the best in the world.
What do you do during the school year?
I work in a primary school at the moment doing before and after school care. So I will make breakfast in the mornings and afternoon tea for the children I have in for the afternoon, set out art activities, play board games and go outside to run around and play games. It's great fun for the kids while they either wait for school to start or wait to get picked up.
When it’s your turn to control the tunes in the camp van, what kind of music will we be listening to?
Little bit of Aussie indie rock I reckon.
If you were able to cook one meal for the campers this summer, what would it be?
Probably a lasagne, only ever got compliments for the meal, or tacos just because they're my favourite food.
What’s one thing campers would be surprised to learn about you?
I'm colourblind, so sometimes blues and purples mix together and yellows and green look the same.
What are you most looking forward to this summer?
Most looking forward to meeting everyone! Hoping I can make lifelong friends and learn a bunch of new things.
How do your friends describe you?
Funny and Creative.
What can campers do to make you smile?
Honestly just being themselves! Anytime someone is really feeling themselves and in a super good mood I can't not smile, love when anyone, especially kids, tell me all about something they are passionate about.
What should they avoid doing around you?
Making noise while you eat is the only thing I truly don't like.
What advice would you give campers for being successful at camp?
Give your all in anything you try! Always put your best foot forward, try new things, and never give up.
