Pali Staff - We Love Pali, Too!

Pali Adventures had a fantastic early bird enrollment. Thanks to the high reenrollment there will be a lot of great friends returning to camp next summer. There will also be a lot of your favorite counselors returning in 2010. We only invite back staff who score better than a 4.5 out of 5 from the camper surveys so, let's see who we have returning (so far!) in 2010…

Hammms will be joining us for his 4th summer. This year, Hammms will be working in the winter office helping Gunner prepare the best possible summer. Hammms will be charged with improving our Specialty programs. His job is to make sure you all have a fantastic time at your specialties. How can we make your favorite specialty a 5/5?

Jester will be returning for his 5th summer! This summer Jester will be taking on the role of Assistant Director. Don't panic! Skunk is still at Camp! Skunk is now the Director of Pali's Outdoor Education program and will be preparing for her new season in the Fall. Heart will be back for her 3rd summer!!

Heart just could not stay away from us and will be working this summer as a group leader for our younger girls (11 and under).

Weasel brought us into the 21st century last summer with the itouches. In 2010, he will be working on making sure every camper gets the electives they want.

Campers jumping off the lodge roof

Crush will be back for his third summer! We are all very excited (and, I must say a little nervous) that he will be telling his stories and will be in charge of the Haunted Trails in 2010. Check the Pali schedule on Page 2 for the weeks where Pali will be running the very popular Halloween and Haunted Trail! Fashion will be in the very capable hands of Patch and Stumbles who will both be returning for their second stint. They have some fabulous new ideas for our wonderful fashionistas out there! Moook is returning for his 7th summer.

Moook ran an awesome stunts program in 2009 and is planning to have more campers jumping off the lodge roof in 2010. Raja, who is currently teaching ski and snow boarding in Canada, will be joining Moook again this upcoming summer.

Shazza Shazza

Shazza has been at Pali longer than anyone else! She has been a camper, CIT, JC and full counselor! Shazza is definitely a big time camper favorite and will be working at Big Bear in our Water Sports specialty. Water Sports will be fantastic this summer with no less than than 4 returning staff in 2010. We will also be adding SAILING. If you would like to learn how to sail… Pali's the place.

Mongoose Mongoose

Returning to the Lake will be Gilly and Mongoose, both returning for their second year, and Grommet, who will be spending his 4th summer. Also returning for her second year, after missing in 2009 will be Jokes!

Another graduate of our JC program will be back for her 7th summer…Strum! Strum is currently studying up in Santa Cruz and is very excited to be returning to the Action Sports specialties. Rock Star will of course be guided by the best music man in the business, our very own Traxxx. Traxxx will be returning for his 4th summer and will be assisted by Dolly (third summer) and Flava-Flave who worked with us in 2008 as the musical director for Idol Camp.

Yes, we all know he walks like a crab person, and talks like a crab person, but he also does a great job with Acting! We are delighted that Chico will be returning for his second summer with us. Chico is a great personality in camp, and we are very excited to have him working with our evening activities also in 2010.

Tax will be running all of our weekend activities and special events in 2010. Many of you will know him from the camp store in 2008 and from the Outdoor Education program where he has been teaching now for six seasons. Also joining us from the outdoor education program is PW. PW will be heading up the Extreme Action specialty.

Tuppence made a huge impact in 2009. You guys loved her and that's why she will be returning to head up our Girl Power Extreme. The action sports are in great hands with many returning staff to help run a safe, fun and exciting program… Monty, Bubbles, Butch, Irons, Shuuugz, Clover and Ranga are all returning in 2010.

Our Leadership and CIT programs are in fantastic hands! Willis and Clem will be leading our future Strums, Shazza's and Stealth's footprints. Our T.R.A.I.L program will build on the fantastic work started by Smurf and the Leadership campers last summer. Want more info? Please contact Hammms and he'll be happy to fill you in on all of the great new ideas in store for 2010!

Pop and Biddy are also returning to Pali! We are very excited that both will be playing a large part in making the Culinary Institute and Film Institute the best they can be! Welcome back ladies!

Presley is in the building! Yes, we are very happy that Presley will be back and heading up our wonderful Movie Make-up specialty in 2010. This upcoming summer we will be adding Glamour Make-up classes on Thursday afternoon as an elective.

That's not all…We have a few more returning staff, but we can't tell you everything. Then there'd be no suprises when you arrived at camp. Want a couple of clues? Jolly German? A healthy diamond?
