Rachel Brawner

hey there! so....I saw that a lot of people had done this already and thought I would join the crowd! I am a junior at Wartburg College in this really small town in.......Iowa, and am majoring in History. This is going to be my second year working as a counselor, but i went to camp for three years too. When I am not doing loads of homework I really like hanging out with friends, watching sports, or playing golf! I am super excited for the summer not only because of all the fun it is going to be, but also because i get to work with my cousin and brother! Sadly though, I am going to be late for training because my brother is graduating...but I will be looking forward to meeting everyone(again)!

God Bless!

Anne Elizabeth Bergstrom

Hey! My name is Anne Bergstrom. I am a sophomore at the University of Minnesota Morris, and this going to be my first summer as a counselor at Pathways. I am super excited and have been dreaming about this since my first year as a camper at Minne-Wa-Kan! I'm originally from Twin Valley, Minnesota, and I have one brother and one sister. I love being outdoors and being active; I play varsity softball at Morris, and am involved in many intramurals. I love reading and am the new book reviewer for our on-campus paper! I have been active in the choir program here on campus and give prospective students tours when they come to visit UMM. I just changed my major to English and Art History with a Biology minor, so I have been pretty busy with my classes! I can be pretty random sometimes, and I'm always ready for a laugh. I'm definitely not an early bird, but have had so many early classes that I can't even think about waking up past 7:30, which is very sad! I'm extremely excited to meet everyone, and hope you all have a great end of spring, and good luck on any finals!!!

Above you will find a lovely picture of myself, and yes I did get my sunglasses stuck in my hair. Not to mention the lovely Camp Emmaus paint job i have on my face;). I will be a first time counselor this summer, and I'm lovin' it already! I graduate from Lake Park/ Audubon HS very soon....(may) and next year I'm going to South Dakota State.
About Me: I'm a little nerdy, I like math, and I really like to sing songs that i make up about whatever is happening at the moment. This morning, i had captain crunch for breakfast. I was voted class-clown in my graduating class, but i thought i should've gotten "most likely to succeed" or something to that extent. I really like people in general, especially my grandma! and I cant wait to meet you all at staff training!!!!!!
P.S. I love Will Ferrell!

Cathryn Nelson

Hello friends! Here I am, a freshman sitting in my dorm room at Gustavus Adolphus College, catching up on the Grey's Anatomy from last week; the busiest academic week of my life! Here at Gustavus I am in Choir and intramural softball. I work for the Office of Church Relations where I help coordinate confirmation visits, and then through GYO(Gustavus Youth Outreach) I put on retreat activities and worship for the same groups! I am still an undeclared major, but currently thinking about pre-occupational therapy and a possible psych major?... I guess I wait for God to let me know on this one.

I am from Moorhead, MN, where my parents, younger sister, and yellow lab(Josie) live. I enjoy being outdoors and playing tennis, softball, soccer, etc. I like pea pods raw or cooked, asparagus and broccoli(along with a lot of other foods). I have a thing for the moon, and am not super fond of spiders.
I have never worked at Pathways before, though I was a camper for multiple years

Dan Cahoon

Hallo! I'm Dan Cahoon, this is my third and probably final year at Pathways, and unfortunately, like last year I will not be there for the start of staff training, this year becasue my family is taking a vacation to California during that week. So the information you would have heard would I be present there is that I'm a junior at Concordia Moorhead. I'm majoring in Religion and Classics (which means lots of Latin and Greek studies) with a minor in Philosophy. Originally from Bismarck, ND, I drum (poorly), and play violin (more poorly). I spend the vast majority of my time either sleeping, reading, writing, playing video games, or talking with friends, and I enjoy all of them immensly. Post-graduation I'm hoping to go to Israel for a month, then Peace Core until youth ministry and then possibly cumulating in a teaching career.
