Questions for Camper: Jeffrey

February 15th, 2012. Posted by NSDC Insider.

Hi, My name is Jeffrey P.  I am 14 years old and live in Greenvale, New York.  I have been at NSDC since I was a little kid and I am always looking forward to going back each  summer.  At home and at camp, I love to play tennis.  During the school year I am always really occupied between school and tennis.  I have 1 dog and his name is Duke.  He is a lab chowchow mix.  I also have 2 cats named Patches and Scotchie – they’re calico twins which is pretty rare.  At camp, I am part of the Voyagers group and I LOVE taking the 4-day overnight trips and being with all my friends.

Spotlight on Staff: Lee

February 7th, 2012. Posted by NSDC Insider.

My name is Lee (on the right) and I’m 19  years old. I’m from Great Neck and I’m currently a sophomore at Quinnipiac University studying print journalism. I came to North Shore Day Camp as a camper back in 2002 along with my brother Mitchell who was in 2nd grade at the time, so I credit and thank my mom and dad for sending us. Little did I know that this place was going to be my second home!

The most important thing to know about me is that I love sports and everyone at camp knows that about me! In 5th grade, my camp nickname was Ripken, because I would wear Cal Ripken Jr.’s jersey twice a week (washed of course – thanks mom!) I’m also a big Mets, Jets, Knicks, and Rangers fan.  My brother and I both played baseball each summer while growing up.  Many times after the camp day was over, already exhausted by the fun at North Shore, we would hectically rush off the bus, change into our uniforms and be on our way to the diamond.   Life was simple then – my responsibilities were to just have fun and be a kid, which I did.  I was the captain of my baseball team in high school and playing baseball is still my favorite hobby today.
