"Camp means a lot to me - it feels like when I was 8 years old I walked through the doors and it just brought happiness to be around people who believe in me and have fun. It means a lot to spend the best week of a lifetime. I like to do all sports activities and love the food. I can't wait to come back. Without Twitch and Shout I wouldn't be the person I am." Lazarus
So LUCKY to have Sarah & Megan!
Megan has been involved on and off for the past 6 years. Sarah has been involved on and off for the past 5. Up until this past summer, they had actually never been at camp at the same time...leading everyone to believe they were pulling some elaborate prank! (Pssst...they are mirror twins!) They have both served as counselors, Unit Leaders, and now Megan will be heading up the new CIT program!
Megan stumbled across camp when she was studying to become a teacher. Camp was the exact environment she was striving to create as a teacher; empowering, inclusive, supportive, and fun! She quickly fell in love and has continued to be involved so she can do whatever part she can to make sure campers have the greatest week of summer camp! When she is not at camp, Megan works at Appalachian State University with teacher education recruitment and retention. She has a degree in Math Education and a master's degree in College Student Development, so her job perfectly blends her interests! When she isn't working (or when she is) she will tell anyone who will listen about her furbabies, Bailey and Gus, who are arguably two of the cutest dogs on this planet.
After hearing about how AMAZING camp is from Megan, Sarah encouraged her best friend and now roommate Katie to go to camp and meet others with TS. Katie came back from camp and also wouldn't stop talking about how amazing it was...so naturally Sarah had to go see what the all the fuss was about! She was immediately hooked. Sarah truly believes camp is a magical place. In the months between camp itself, Sarah helps manage the camp social media page and digital fundraising efforts. She does however have a life outside of camp as well! Sarah graduated from Appalachian State University with a degree in Public Relations. She works in the digital marketing field for an online mortgage lender in Charlotte as their Social Media Specialist. Sarah thinks her dog, Teddy, is definitely the cutest dog on the planet (it's not arguable).
Meet BAILEY & GUS!
