Romney, McKay, and Brigham Morgan at Camp Lakewood.

At Camp Lakewood three high school counselors get to see their younger siblings, talking to their friends,making animal noises, then laughing with their friends.

“ Seeing your siblings at camp is kind of weird because everyone at camp isn’t related, and then you see your sibling and it kind of feels like you are at your house,”  sophomore counselor Brigham Morgan said.

Senior Romney Morgan and sophomore Brigham Morgan were camp counselors while their sixth grade brother McKay Morgan was a camper.

“I was fun for my brother to be my co-counselor because at meetings I still got to see him, and my cabin had competitions versus his cabin,” B. Morgan said

Junior Gabby Nickel was also a counselor during her brother, sixth grader Tommy Nickel’s camp experience.

“Having a sibling at camp was weird because I got to see what my brother acted like in social settings, and he was a lot more hyper,” G. Nickel said. “One good thing was that he was a boy so we weren’t in the same cabin and we didn’t see each other too much to get annoyed.”

R. Morgan, B. Morgan and G. Nickel had their younger brother’s friends in their cabin.

“At first I thought it’d be different, having kids in my cabin that knew my brother McKay, but it turned out to be pretty similar to the past years as a counselor,” R. Morgan said. “Except that this year I constantly heard you look like McKay from my campers.”

Camp Lakewood provided a new experience for siblings.

“Having my brother there was really nice because it was like having a home away from home,” M. Morgan Said, “Everyday we got to share the experiences together, and laugh about it later. It was comforting knowing if I needed anything my brothers would be there to help.”
