Dory Blair is coming 19 this summer and been a camper and CIT for 3 years.  Greatfully, she is returning as a Senior Counselor for a second summer. SESSIONS # 5, 6, 7, 8.  Her expertise, helpfulness, hard work, and ability to keep things laughing was a huge contribution to such a successful 2007 summer.  So many side aches from laughing so hard.   She is completing her first year at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Rachel Martinez (Chee)   SESSION #4
We have so many Rachels we had to find a distinct name for this counselor. Chee is in her third year at Randolph-Macon Women's College in Virginia. In addition to her riding skills, Chee brings excellent leadership training and experience. Chee directed the summer riding program for challenged children in Salinas through their 2007 season.  She has been greatly missed.  She has just signed on to return to Dreamcatcher for two weeks this summer as a Senior Counselor. YEAH!!!

Amanda loves camp because she feels free to be herself and enjoys meeting new people.

HONORARY  PAST COUNSELORS:
Nicole Fawns...aka "Fawnzie"  may take time off occasionally from her university pursuits at UC Davis as a veterinarian student to visit us. She will always remain a "Dreamcatcher Counselor".  I look forward to the day I can call on her as our premier veterinarian.  I think by 2010???
She returns every year to spur up some memories and food wars.
