Brooke A.
Age 14<\/p>\n

In a faraway place called Uzbekistan, on January 5th<\/sup>, year unknown, baby\u00a0Hoops was born. When Hoops was eight years old, she moved to America with her parents and little sister. Hoops describes her family as \u201cnormal\u201d and her best
childhood memories were climbing mountains with her dad. Hoops came to junior camp when she was ten years old and still remembers the feeling of bewilderment. The first time the staff came running down banging on her car. That
was the start of many camp adventures for Hoops. She returned to camp every year after that. At camp, Hoops had tons of fun, loved being included, and experienced something like nothing else. Even today, Hoops recalls great
memories spent with her staff like Rickshaw.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>As a teenager, Hoops loved sports, playing soccer, basketball, track and softball. In high school, Hoops loved academic challenges and enjoyed learning Biology. Hoops was also involved in leadership at her high school. At thirteen, Hoops started coming to teen camp. Her favorite part of teen camp was the giant swing, playing water polo, and loved how her staff connected with her. Another fun part of teen camp was playing Capture the Degel with Sport.<\/p>\n

Hoops loved camp so much, she decided to become a tribe leader. Even though she wasn\u2019t sure if she would do a good job, she felt God was calling her to experience it. As everyone who has been at camp knows, she is an amazing and caring tribe leader who is full of love.<\/p>\n

Hoops is now in college studying pre-med, and is hoping for an occupation in medicine. But she says that though she is not sure the plan God has for her she knows that He will use the gifts and talents she has to serve Him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
