Last up in our Meet the Counselors series is Anton Liljelund. He is joining us from Finland, making him the first Finn at Camp Spring Creek. With a love for meaningful conversation and his calm and dedicated demeanor, Anton is sure to be a valued asset at camp this summer.
Tell us a little about where you are from. If you have out-of-town visitors, where do you take them?
I am from a quite small Nordic country called Finland. I think some of the things worth doing here are to enjoy nature and the outdoors.
When it’s your turn to control the tunes in the camp van, what kind of music will we be listening to?
I tend to enjoy music written with a message in mind and that can be found in many different genres I don’t have a firm favorite.
What’s one thing campers would be surprised to learn about you?
We have male conscription in Finland so I have served in the army for a year.

I enjoy lengthy discussions about a variety of subjects.
What should campers avoid doing around you?
Be respectful of others and I don’t think there is much you could do.
