Bubbles was born in Boca Raton but soon moved to Costa Rica where she lived for five years before moving to the Treasure Coast. An only child, she now attends St. Andrews Episcopal Academy where she will be a Junior in the Fall. She enjoys studying law and would like to work for the DEA in the future. After graduation, she plans to travel the world before settling into a routine.

An avid soccer player, Bubbles has played the sport for seven years and is now starting goal keeper for the Jensen Beach Soccer Club. She also enjoys riding horses, playing kickball on the beach, and is a certified scuba diver. Often, she sits by her pool or heads for the beach with her two water-loving dogs, an English Bulldog named Moose and a Rottweiler named Eggy.

Bubbles adores working with kids. She can’t wait to help each and every camper feel like a rockstar and to see the kids faces light up when they catch their first wave on their own. A 5-year Cowabunga camper herself, she looks forward to sharing her love for the beach, the ocean and all its marine life, and surfing, a sport she learning from her dad in Jaco, Costa Rica when she was 3. In the past, she worked for 2-1/2 years as a counselor for kids ranging from pre-school to middle-school ages.

Bubbles has an amazing experience last summer when her dad surprised her with a trip to Chicago to visit her most loved Chicago Cubs, and thrilled her with a VIP tour of the dugout and a preferred meeting with team members.

Fruit, fruit, and more fruit is Bubbles’ go-to snack and her favorite restaurant is Conchy Joes because, not only does she work there, but it is on the water, the staff makes you feel like family, and she says the food is really really good!

During the Quarantine, Bubbles used the down-time to learn leather crafting and taught herself how to stitch medical sutures. Hopefully she won’t need the skill for personal use!

Frodo moved to the Treasure Coast three years ago from Woodbridge, Virginia just outside Washington DC and has one older and one younger sister. This area holds many treasured memories for him, as his father and grandparents are from here and he grew up with Jensen Beach being the family vacation destination.

Considering himself to be very sympathetic and helpful, Frodo hopes to be instrumental in helping Cowabunga campers have a great time this summer, meeting their seaside and water sport goals. He has done a lot of babysitting and child care within his family and church, as well as for others, and has much experience overseeing and guiding younger children. He also has served as a swimming pool lifeguard.

With a true heart for music and art, Frodo likes to play the guitar, sing, write songs, and draw, using his designs to create custom t-shirts. He also enjoys mornings at the beach and surfing, a sport he learned at age 14 from The Eagle. He finds the ocean to be very therapeutic and claims that being in the water on a surfboard is the only thing that really helps him forget the troubles and stresses of the day. He also enjoys wake boarding and describes one of his best memories as a wakeboard trip several years ago.

Frodo’s favorite restaurant is Berry Fresh, claiming that their breakfast is awesome, and always enjoys a snack or lunch of an acai bowl loaded peanut butter. Over the course of the Quarantine, he says the most important lesson learned was “to count your blessings”.

Born and raised in Martin County, Icee, the oldest of three siblings, just graduated from the Clark Learning Center. He claims his favorite subject is definitely Marine Science, learning about and interacting with marine animals with which he has been fascinated since he was little.  In the recent past, he has had the welcomed opportunity to go on several deep dives for a close-up experience with many different marine ecosystems. 

A true water aficionado, Icee has been a member of Club and high school swim teams, receiving a varsity letter in the sport for the last 4 years.  Last year, he swam 12.5 miles around Key West and planned to do it again this year before the pandemic cancelled his plans.

Icee enjoys many other sports besides swimming (which is his favorite) that includes skateboarding, running along the shoreline, skim boarding, and surfing, a sport he was taught by his dad in sixth grade.  He says that the first time he caught a wave, he was hooked! 

Icee has much experience working with and helping children.  His family has fostered many kids from many different backgrounds over the past several years.  Having an age span of 3 to 10, these children have helped shape who he is, showing him how to talk to them and deal with their personalities, needs, and desires.  It has given him a passion to be around kids and guide them in numerous ways.  He looks forward to returning as a second-year Cowabunga counselor, helping campers enjoy the environment and water sports that he loves and seeing their faces light up when they stand up on a board and ride the wave.

Each Christmas, Icee and his family vacation in Utah where he is able to snowboard in the beautiful mountains of the western US. This coming year, he would like to work at a ski resort to pursue his love for snowboarding before he continues his education at IRSC.

Icee has two super lazy dogs, an American Ridgeback named Rusty and a German Shepard/Border Collie named Koda.  He likes to snack on Mike & Ikes and on a night out, heads for Gettin’ Crabby where he orders their blue crabs.  During the Quarantine, he has been busy improving his skateboard skills and learning new tricks and tactics.

Although most of his family hails from South Africa, Orca was born and raised on the Treasure Coast with one older sister and now attends Port St Lucie High School where he most enjoys the intricacies of Science. He will be a Senior in the Fall and is a member of the school’s baseball and golf teams. He also likes fishing, surfing, skim boarding, skateboarding, and snow boarding. Following graduation, he plans to attend a trade school to learn the plumbing trade, with the goal of owning his own plumbing business in the future.

Orca prefers to always be outdoors, often fishing in his spare time. At age 5 or 6, he began surfing and skim boarding with his family and now claims skimming as his favorite waterfront activity. His favorite thing about the ocean is all the marine life that live in it.

Having done quite a bit of babysitting within and outside of his family, Orca plans to use the skills he learned through those experiences to ensure that Cowabunga campers have a great time this summer. As a second-year counselor, he wants them to have as much fun as he had when he was younger. He is looking forward to being a really fun counselor and just knows this summer’s camp is going to be awesome!

Orca claims his best vacation was to North Carolina during the winter when he learned to snow board and had a great time in the mountains. On a night out, he heads for Longhorn Steakhouse and their classic t-bone steak and for a snack, he most enjoys a Take 5 candy bar.

Orca has one pet, a lazy, 10-year-old pit bull named Bella. Throughout the Quarantine, he has enjoyed spending time with his family and fishing with his friends.

Riptide, a Treasure Coast native and 6-year Cowabunga camper, has three older brothers. She has one dog, a Jack Russell mix named Bella, who she likes to take on long walks and dress up in cute outfits. (We want to see pictures!) A Jensen Beach High School student looking forward to her sophomore year, Riptide’s favorite subject is Math and plans to become either a radiology technician or dental hygienist in the future.

Riptide has played competitive volleyball for several years but also likes to participate in many other sports. In the ocean, she enjoys fishing, paddle boarding, and snorkeling. She was taught by her dad to surf at age 5, and now, after many years of practice and enjoyment with her dad, brothers, and on her own, is extremely proficient at the sport. She loves breathing in the fresh air of the ocean and savors its calming effects.

Because of her many years at Cowabunga camp, Riptide is very familiar with its activities, procedures, and standards. She is excited to return as a third-year counselor this summer, sharing with campers her experiences, all she has learned, and her love of the ocean. Her experience with children extends elsewhere as she regularly volunteers in her church nursery, at Bible camp, and is a family babysitter.

One of Riptide’s most memorable trips was to the Bahamas where she and her family had their own little house on the ocean. They swam, fished, snorkeled, and paddle boarded in the crystal blue waters and enjoyed delicious smoothies on Cat Island. Claiming her favorite foods are cheeseburgers, chicken wings, and Mexican fare, Riptide’s favorite restaurants are Chipotle and Hurricane Wings … and gummy worms are her #1 snack!

Riptide believes that the pandemic happened for a reason, learning much from the down time, and feels very accomplished that during the quarantine she completed a 1000-piece puzzle of “very, very tiny” pieces.

Sprout hails from Fort Lauderdale but has lived on the Treasure Coast for 10 years. She now attends the University of Central Florida where her 15-year experience playing soccer enhances the UCF team.  She is pursuing a degree in Hospitality because she loves to work with people and travel. In the future, she plans to work in hotel or tourism management, hoping that much travel will accompany her career.

Sprout has one older brother and two Tabby cats named Leo and Poppy, great playmates for her and for each other.  Her extended family lives in Germany and every other year, she has the opportunity to visit them, experiencing the sights and cultures of the country and spending special time with family.  She also had the opportunity to participate in a mission trip to the Dominican Republic with her aunt who lived there for many years.

Loving the beach and the sea, Sprout paddle boards and surfs (a sport learned three years ago at Cowabunga) but her favorite activity is boogie boarding for sure!  She also enjoys boating, swimming, and just relaxing on the Treasure Coast sands. Returning as a third-year counselor, she will use her adoration for children and the ocean environment to help Cowabunga campers learn the skills of surfing and have the best experience ever!  

Sprout’s most memorable trip was when she was invited to sing at Pearl Harbor, having the opportunity to enjoy beautiful Hawaii.  However, in March, she had the thrill of traveling the steepest zip line in the world in St Maarten.

After an active day at camp, Sprout likes to recharge with a big bowl of cereal — or venture to her restaurant of choice, Chipotle, where she most enjoys the burrito bowls.  During the quarantine, she began painting and now claims it to be her favorite past time.

A former 4-year camper and returning third-year counselor, Wheeeeee! was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale but has spent many weekends and summers over the last seven years on the Treasure Coast.

She enjoys the challenge of Chemistry and doing all the different experiments it entails. After graduation, she plans to attend a Florida college and hopes to include time studying abroad. She claims she has an unusually good memory, able to remember specific details from years ago, a gift that certainly will help her in her future studies!
A travel aficionado, Anemone’s best vacation was with her family visiting many locations in Spain, including the “absolutely gorgeous” beaches of the coastline.

She has a younger brother and sister, and many animals including a dog, Diamond, who loves to go for boat rides; a bird, Sunny, who goes everywhere with her perched on her shoulder; a cat, Prince, who likes to play in the sand with her; and a bunny, Coco, who runs around the yard with her. Whoa. A rising Sophomore at Montverde Academy, her favorite subject is Biology because she is able to study plants and animals and hopes, in the future, to become a veterinarian. She certainly has many animals to observe in her own home but also treasures time camping with her grandparents, bike riding and exploring wildlife with them. Once, they even encountered a deer that walked straight up to them! She even claims the highlight of the ocean is the beautiful wildlife in its own habitat.
Bananner has played soccer for years, practicing in her spare time when not boating on the Central Florida lakes. She is a member of her state-ranked #1 high school soccer team and plays year-round on a competitive team. However, she also enjoys archery, wakeboarding, skiing, paddle boarding, and surfing, a sport she began at age 9.

A long-time Cowabunga camper, Bananner joins the team of counselors this year to share with them the fun of camp, the things she learned here, and the beachfront activity skills she has developed over the years.
Bananner is passionate about helping others and regularly volunteers at her church and school, working closely with kids with disabilities and with the elderly. She also is a much sought-after babysitter for many Clermont families. Her favorite restaurant is Anna’s Pizza because, shesays, they have the best cinnamon twists as well as all kinds of great Italian food, but her favorite is Chicken Parmesan. For a snack? Trail mix!
Bananner is grateful that she was able to spend much quality time with her family during the quarantine. She also learned how important it is to maintain a steady schedule and she learned how to drive as well!

Now, as a first year counselor, he looks forward to sharing his happy camp days with this year’s campers. He wants to bring them the exciting experiences of surfing and beachfront fun that they will remember for years to come.

Her family’s annual trip to the Florida Keys during Lobster Mini Season is Ka-Chow’s most favored vacation. Each season, they usually collect over 150 lobsters and then relax all together for the rest of the day. She loves being in her most favored element, the salty ocean, and enjoying the time with so many family members.
Although her favorite food is tacos, Ka-Chow’s favorite restaurant is Chick-Fil-A where, she says, the food is amazing, the workers are so nice, and they have great service. She has one, 11-year-old dog named Cody who loves to take walks and eat lots of people food!

On a night out, McFly heads for Longhorn where he orders his most loved steak with a side of lobster. He claims his most memorable vacation was with his family to Key West where they fished and played on jet skis. However, another highlight was a trip to the Everglades where he got a “close-up” look at alligators and pythons! Yikes!! During the quarantine, he says it was really great to be able to spend lots of extra time with his family.

During the quarantine, Ole Yeller learned just how social she prefers to be. Sounds like Cowabunga Camp will be a great place for her this summer!

Razzle Dazzle has been a Florida girl all her life. Although she was born in Boca Raton, she grew up in Jensen Beach with three siblings. She has wonderful memories of her childhood here — ones that continue to be made — and claims she would never want to live anywhere else.

She treasures time with children and the opportunity to make connections with them so they know they can count on her.
Razzle Dazzle has many favorite foods but açaí bowls are at the top of her list. However, she claims nothing can top her love for Chick Fil A where the service is amazing and the 8-piece nugget meal with fries and Chick Fil A sauce are the BEST. On a night out, she heads for Benihana where she doesn’t even know how they can make Chicken Fried Rice so good! Her best vacation was with her family to the bright white beaches of St. Petersburg where they spent much relaxing time together and ate lots of ice cream. She can’t wait to go back!
During the quarantine, Razzle Dazzle developed a love for cooking and baking and made a commitment to a regular work out routine. She believes the pandemic happened for a larger purpose and realized that life has much to offer when you are able to step back and take a good look.

Born in Boynton Beach but soon after moving to the Treasure Coast, Dunkin has two older siblings with whom she is very close although they are all four years apart.  A recent Jensen Beach High School grad, she will continue on to Florida Gulf Coast University in the Fall to study Psychology, an interest developed while dual-enrolling at IRSC this past year.

Dunkin enjoys all types of “land” sports but particularly likes volleyball and claims tennis as her favorite.  She played on the JBHS tennis team for four years and was excited to attend the state championship matches in Altamonte Springs this past year, cheering for the boys’ team as well as for her two top teammates who won the state doubles.

In the water, Dunkin most likes wake boarding and surfing, a sport taught to her by her uncle at age 10.  He is an excellent surfer and to this day, she loves to ride the waves with him. Her favorite thing about the ocean is its wide variety of beautiful wildlife and all of the activities it offers but also likes the camaraderie of surfing and the opportunity to meet new people out in the water.

Dunkin has volunteered at many Vacation Bible School camps in a variety of area churches, loving the opportunity of serving and getting to know all the children attending.   This summer, she most looks forward to helping Cowabunga campers learn the skills and fun of surfing and watching them become excited about the sport.

Dunkin’s most memorable vacation was to Colorado with her own family as they visited her extended family.  It was Dunkin’s first time in heavy snow, and her first time skiing.  She was thrilled by the challenge of the sport and awed by the beauty of the snowy mountains but the opportunity to visit family made it extra special.

Although tacos are her favorite, Dunkin’s go-to restaurant is U-Tiki where she enjoys the outdoor atmosphere and great sushi.  During the quarantine, she perfected the art of creating homemade mac ’n cheese. She has one dog, Roxy, who always likes to join her for a relaxing car ride.
