Meet Ella & Alyssa, two of our Camp Kroc lead counselors! 🐊☀️

From lotus drinks and good books to big camp moments, these two bring their own vibe to every day.

💬 Ella: What does life look like outside of Camp Kroc?
“Most days I’m at the Kroc, but when I’m not, I love spending time with my family, reading, and getting coffee and lotus drinks!”
(Second summer with us… and clearly fueled by caffeine and good vibes ☕)

💬 Alyssa: How is being a counselor rewarding to you?
“I get to see how the kids grow throughout the summer. Most come in nervous and shy, and I get to watch them make friends, learn new skills, and have fun experiences. Hearing them laugh and play throughout the day brings me so much joy—and it’s why I love what I do.”

👋 If you see Ella and Alyssa around camp, be sure to say hi!

Treat yourself tomorrow at The Kroc! 🥤✨

Meet Kaden & Aly, two of our Camp Kroc lead counselors! 🐊☀️

These two are pros at turning ordinary days into full-on camp adventures!

💬 Kaden: How do you fuel up before camp each day?
“Oatmeal with honey… and an energy drink.” (Honestly… respect. Gotta keep up somehow! 😂)

💬 Aly: What will you take away from your experience as a counselor?
“I’ll take away lots of skills that I’ve been able to work on through this job, things like problem solving, teamwork, leadership, and above all, patience.”

👋 If you see Kaden and Aly around camp, be sure to say hi!

Quincy Fizz Co. & Petite Pancakes are back at the Kroc on June 24th! 🩷

Sweet treats are always deserved, so come on down and grab a drink or some pancakes - or both!
