2018 Scholarship Winner
Giselle (Gigi) is now getting ready for her fifth Udaleku experience in Reno, NV July 8-20th, 2018. The scholarship application requires an essay in two parts: a) what impact Udaleku has had on you and b) what advice would you give to a new Udaleku camper? In Gigi’s response, she stressed the importance of meeting new people at camp, not only among the campers, but also the experiences she has had with various host families she’s stayed with. She credits Udaleku too with her increased knowledge of the Basque culture that now enables her to better respond to the question, “What’s Basque?” When asked for advice for new campers she said, “The biggest piece of advice I could give to a new camper is to push yourself to step out of your comfort zone, whether that be trying a new sport or meeting new people. This is a key part of Udaleku…” Well said Gigi, and Zorionak! |
