Chad Prater is yet another of our crew that attends Winona State University. Winona was one of our stops during our February staffing road trip and while previous stops in LaCrosse and Stevens Point, WI weren't very fruitful, Winona was great as we ended up hiring Chad and two other Warriors (thats the Winona mascot...). Chad is studying elementary education with a minor in math, so needless to say, working at camp is a pretty good fit for him.
He loves playing sports, namely tennis and basketball, and he attended a Bo Ryan's basketball camp. There's no word on whether or not Bo tried to block Chad from going to college at Winona (just a bit of Badger joke from a UW alum). I initially started discussing our tennis instructor position when I learned that Chad is also an experienced life guard and certified water safety instructor, so he'll come in useful both on the tennis courts and down at swim point. A first year staff member, Chad hails from Edgerton, WI.
