I’m Micah Jona, I’m from Wilmette, IL, and this will be my 8th summer back at camp. I’m currently a sophomore at New Trier Township High School, where I am on the tennis team. When I am not playing tennis, or cramming for a test, I’m usually hanging out with my friends.
This summer I will be instructing disc golf, tennis, and land sports! I have loved all my 7 years as a camper and can’t wait to continue my NSC journey as a CIT! I’m excited to meet all the new campers and staff members!

How has camp impacted you?
- Camp has impacted me in more ways than I can count! None more important than the relationships I have created, even in my first year when I was only eight years old. Every year I have created new friendships that have lasted ever since. Camp has also taught me responsibility, more than I ever thought it would when I first came to North Star. I learned how to compromise, how to take on a leadership role, and not to be afraid to get outside of my comfort zone and try something new.
