MEET THE TEAM

Negha: Day Camp Leader

Hello everyone!!

My name is Negha and I am entering my second year of Health Sciences at the University of Ottawa.

It is my second year back as staff at Amberlea Camp. Something interesting about me is that I love a good starry night. I love going to campsites and looking at the stars!

What I am most excited about working this summer at Amberlea is reconnecting with the kids and staff to spread the word of God. When I worked here last year, it was amazing seeing how much kids loved this camp, and how much it made me love it even more.

Moreover, as I start my second year at university, I will be studying for an exam that will help me with post-secondary applications, and I would appreciate prayers about that as well as for this camp to go smoothly.

Jayde: Day Camp Counsellor

Hi everyone!

My name is Jayde Barnes-Rochester. I am in my second year of university attending the University of Waterloo! There, I’m in the Arts and Business program, where I’ll obtain a BA degree with a background in Business by the end.

An interesting fact about me is that I love staying active during my free time! I love working out, moving my body, and going on long walks or hikes in my neighbourhood. I also love learning insightful things and understanding different perspectives from others, and I value learning more things about myself.

This summer, I’m very excited to connect with the kids, mentor them, and help them build a foundational relationship with God! I hope that they continue to carry these relationships with them throughout the stages of their lives. I hope they continue to trust in God’s love through their life journey!

I also look forward to having fun and making the camp experience worthwhile! I ask that anyone from Amberlea pray that this year’s camp will run smoothly, that we as camp leaders will hold onto our strength to keep the camp afloat, and that God’s word will be heard and accepted within the walls that surround us and the solid ground we walk on. Your blessings are much appreciated!

Krishan: Day Camp Counsellor

Greetings to all, I'm Krishan Thavarajah! A fourth-year student studying business management with a focus on finance at the University of Toronto's Scarborough campus.

One interesting thing about me is that I enjoy playing all sorts of sports, even though I'm terrible at golf. I'm thrilled to be a member of the leadership team for Amberlea Mini Camp this summer.

I'm looking forward to mentoring and teaching these young people about our Lord and Saviour. Something to pray about is camp going smoothly and full time work after graduating.
