My name is Rachel and I am from Northbrook Illinois. I am 12 years old in G2 and this is my 4th summer at Beber. Back at home I play piano at flute. I have a little sister named Julia. It is her second summer and she is ten. Is my spare time I swim, take piano lessons, and write poems just for fun. One of my favorite things to do at camp is waterskiing. One of the reasons why I like songwriting/poetry is because I believe you can really be in touch with your feelings through writing them down. Hope you enjoy!

Guitar Building Hobby just Keeps Rockin!
The Guitar Building hobby tried something new for 2017 and made lap steels - popular in Hawaiian and country music. The campers never fail to come up with great designs - we made two guitars, one of which looks like a tree with branches coming off the body, and the other is, of course, a guitar that looks like corn on the cob, with Asst. Dir. Joel Bennett's caricaturized face and a quote that he loves to say at dinner! Joel was flattered of course! Check out the photos of the making of the guitars!
The Villagers put the Pio Village on the Rock n Roll Map!
