Name: Largo Krouse
Nickname: Largs
Current Occupation: Human Resources Manager
Current Location: Oak Park, IL
Family: I am the youngest of three children (1 sister, 1 brother) and I’m a single gal with no children except for my handsome adopted cat Tigger Bartholomeow!
Interests/Hobbies: Reading, watching movies, spending time with friends and family. I enjoy visiting museums, attending concerts, sewing/quilting and taking my bike out on the trails near my home. Most recently I started playing on a bocce league which is fun, particularly when my team wins!
How did you learn about Camp Grow: I learned about Camp Grow by attending the First Baptist Church of Oak Park.
Camp Grow Position: Camper!! And I was a counselor one time as well.
What are your favorite camp memories: I loved rowing boats on Spring Lake, canoeing and swimming in Green Lake and campfires with all of those wonderful camp songs! One memory that stands out was a 50’s party during Senior High week that was held in the Green Lake boathouse. Everyone dressed like they did back then and there were little bottles of Coca-Cola (like in the 50’s) for everyone. So much fun!
In what way(s) has camp impacted your life?: Camp Grow has been such a positive influence on my life. It helped me to develop a sense of community and when you surround yourself with Christian folks with encouraging attitudes you can't go wrong!
How do you stay connected with Camp Grow?: The Facebook Camp Grow page and the Camp Grow website. Also, this year I attended the May Work Weekend! Hard work, but a lot of fun!
Any last words?: I'm thankful for Camp Grow. I'm thankful for a place that can have such a positive influence on so many children (and adults) in a period of only a week. I know that it helped mold me in my Christian faith and am confident that these young lives are being shaped for the better as well.
