Farago

Hello! I'm Sam, and I'm from Asheville, North Carolina. This will be my 8th year at camp, but my 1st as a staff member. I was a camper from 2017 to 2024, and nothing means more to me than the time that I spent at Camp Carolina growing up.
I love everything sports. I play soccer, but I religiously follow the NFL, College Football, and multiple soccer leagues.

What are you most proud of/biggest achievement in life so far?: 

I am most proud of my Old Man of the Mountain paddle. My paddle has 9 brands total, and when I look at it, I am reminded of how much I've grown and how far I've come since Alfred handed it to me when I was little.

What is your favorite hobby/sport/thing to do during your free time?

My favorite thing to do is play soccer. I have played since kindergarten, and it is just as enjoyable as the day I started.

What is your favorite thing about working with children?

My favorite thing about working with children is their constant excitement for whatever comes next. It inspires me to be the same way.

What impact are you most excited to make this year at CCB?

I'm most excited to be a role model for the boys. One of the best things CCB ever did for me while I was growing up was give me fantastic role models every summer.

What goal or camp philosophy do you really want your campers to learn this summer?

This summer, I want my campers to make a habit of looking at the glass half full. This is something that has benefited me a lot, and I would even go as far as to say it is one of the keys to happiness.
