Acadia
Anabel Sollinger
Campus Leader
Weston, CT
Few people know camp as well as Anabel, who spent every summer of her childhood on the shores of Echo Lake. In her sixth year on staff, Anabel is heading up Acadia again, her fourth year in leadership. Anabel followed in the footsteps of Jem, graduating from Union College in Schenectady, New York with a degree in Political Science and a minor in Dance. In the winter months, Anabel lives in New York City and is a pre-school teacher at My Little School (MLS) in Tribeca. Our Acadian girls are in the best hands with Anabel leading the way.
