Huawni Storyteller: Grant Hansen
This week’s Huawni Storyteller is Grant Hansen! Grant is a current camper who will be going into his 5th summer at Camp Huawni this year!
Grant talks about how much he enjoys mud fight as well as the friendships made at camp. “I met one of my best friends, Alex, for the time on my first year of camp,” he recalls.
His most favorite thing about Camp Huawni? “Most likely Sing Song,” he says. “Because while people are singing, you can look up at the stars, and I just think it’s really beautiful.”
Simple fun in the great outdoors is what we excel at here at Camp Huawni! And we love that our campers get to share that experience in the Piney Woods year after year!
Campers, do you have a cool Huawni story you’d like to share? Record your video on our video story page!
