Instructor Spotlight: Miss Camryn


Miss Camryn is AWESOME! 

She was in our Little Warrior's program growing up and received her Junior Black Belt in our kids program. She's practically grown up with us and we're grateful to have her on our team raising future generations of Warriors!


Miss Camryn strives to teach our Little Warriors:
"To always work hard and never forget they can become a better Warrior." She has an amazing can do attitude that has helped her overcome many obstacles during her training and in her personal life.

The kiddos love Miss Camryn because:
  1. She always has a sweet smile and hello for them
  2. She genuinely is happy to see everyone
  3. She is a good friend to any in need
  4. She knows the value of hard work and can help motivate them and make it fun even when the material block is difficult
A few of Miss Camryn's favorite things:
      For such a tiny thing Miss Camryn loves to eat! Her favorite food is any type of pasta which is funny since Miss Camryn's nickname growing up with us was "cameroni macaroni." She was not a fan in the beginning but Miss Macaroni has definitely grown to embrace all of her quirks. In addition to food Miss Camryn has a big love for the martial arts and showing up the boys technique-wise, taking unique photos for her Instagram, rolling her eyes at Miss Alana's corny dad jokes, playing board or card games, and for anything Taylor Swift. Whenever a new album comes out you will definitely hear it first from her. 

A little bit more about Miss Camryn:
      Miss Camryn's hero is her grandma. No matter what hardships life throws at her she always is supporting to everyone and focuses on finding the lesson at the center of every trial. Miss Camryn strives to be like her and we love that about her very much. We know that no matter what Miss Camryn sets her mind to she will achieve it and overcome because she isn't afraid to work hard and fight for what matters. So although Geometry might currently be a trial we know she'll find the solution (pun intended) and crush it in the end.

Miss Camryn we are so excited to see you step into this leadership role while continue to crush your own goals. We are looking forward to seeing how far you can go!

Instructor Spotlight: Mr. Alex

 

Mr. Alex is AWESOME! 

He used to be in our Little Warrior's program and after working hard to help our kiddos have some awesome summers he decided to hang out with us all year long during this whirlwind of a transition!


Mr. Alex strives to teach our Little Warriors:
"That compassion is a wonderful thing to have even on the hardest of days."

The kiddos love Mr. Alex because:
He is a bit of a nerd and knows a lot about a vast array of subjects
He always encourages them to be smart and work hard in school
He has the corniest jokes and is very "punny"
The After School kids get to hang out with him and color or construct paper weapons once a week

A few of Mr. Alex's favorite things:
     Mr. Alex likes to keep busy. He enjoys hanging out with his friends and is always down to talk. He also has a varied array of hobbies including drawing, video games, vibing to music, and playing the trombone.


A little bit more about Mr. Alex:
     Mr. Alex came to work for us full time after a tumultuous summer camp in 2020. He is very chill individual. We love that out of all the super powers he wishes for the ability to stop or slow time so he can enjoy the things and people in his life more. Mr. Alex is a big proponent of kindness and perseverance. He has worked with children for several years in tutoring and mentoring in a leadership program at Junior Highs for credit towards his college courses. When asked who his hero is, Mr. Alex chose his dad and said "through all of the hard times he has shown me I have to think about the problem at hand and then act. That way I can find the best solution to get through." We love this mentality Mr. Alex brings to our children's program and how he helps builds up our kiddos.

Mr. Alex you bring so much energy and experience to our program! Thank you for being you and helping give back by raising the next generation of Little Warriors.
