Andrew Howie attended his first festival in 2012 at Summer Camp. Not only did it open his mind and expand musical horizons, it introduced him to some of his favorite people and future life-long friends. Having attended fests from California to New York, there is something special about SCamp that keeps Andrew coming back to Three Sisters Park for more.

Ashlee Czapla (aka Lady Lavendeer) grew up just a few hours away from Three Sisters Park in small town Lake Zurich, Illinois where her parents introduced her to live music and took her to her first festivals. After graduating from the University of Missouri, her marketing career took her from San Diego to Kansas City and finally to Denver. Regardless of where she’s living, distance never gets in the way of her coming back home for SCamp. (Assistant Program Coordinator)

Brandon Johnson is an Arkansas native based in Denver, Colorado. Passionate about showcasing expression through concert/festival photographic imagery. Summer Camp Festival is the best traditional festival in the country and he can’t wait to see how his favorite festival grows over the years to come!

Bryce Peterson is a talented photographer & videographer. His passion for his craft started at an early age by working for his local in-door skatepark, then continued those pursuits at the Madison Media Institute. Now, you can find him touring the Midwest with a wide variety of acts/performers from bluegrass & metal bands to stand-up comics. Outside of creating content he works for a tech start up and still spends most his free time skateboarding.

Catherine Roth is a certified music addict, artist, and total fashion vibe. After attending her first Summer Camp in 2012, Cat has been on a dedicated mission of chasing her favorite bands and discovering new talents around the country. Combining her two loves of photography and live music, she bends light while the bands bend sound, creating beautiful images that capture the artists and fans in their purest moments. Catch Cat grooving her way stage to stage and vibing out in her custom festival outfits… she’ll probably ask to take your picture!

Eric Richard‘s passion is capturing that one-of-a-kind festival vibe and once-in-a-lifetime music performances… and sharing them with you!

Kayla Woyak is a professional wedding and boudoir photographer from Milwaukee, WI.. At Summer Camp, you can usually find her dancing her heart out with glitter on her face, her camera on her back, and a taco in her hand. After her first time attending the festival and discovering some of her now-favorite artists in 2015, she hasn’t missed a year since! She’ll argue that the three best parts of the weekend are walking past a stage and discovering new music, experiencing once in a lifetime performances, and making best friends.
