Coming all the way from Peterborough in England is 1st year counselor Simeon Lee. Sim is a student in Hull, where he's studying history and politics. He began playing drums at 13 and started a band with friends. He's a big outdoors guy and obtained his Duke of Edinburgh award and he enjoys hiking.
At camp you'll find Sim on the waterfront. He obtained his RYA level one in windsurfing and has some sailing experience as well. Knee boarding is one of his specialties and we're looking forward to having him teach campers some different tricks here.
More about Sim
How did you learn about North Star and why did you apply?

-It's got to be a giant manta ray, they're basically just a massive floating table that drifts through the ocean.
What is your guilty pleasure tv show(s):
- Ibiza weekender
What is your dream Job:
- If it could be absolutely anything I'd be a drummer in an indie-rock band.
If you could have dinner with any three people, dead or alive, who would they be and why?:
- Winston Churchill would be number one, he was an incredible and very rare man who'd have a lot of interesting things to say. King Chulalongkorn of Siam (now Thailand) would also be fascinating because he was saved his country from many threats. Lastly it would be my old music teacher Mr Turner as he always made me laugh and was full of insights.
