I’m a friendly Canadian, mild-mannered university employee by day, obsessed DS106 and DS106radioHead by night.

“Are you ready for the sunshine?
Are you ready for the birds and bees,
the apple trees,
and a whole lot of fooling around. . .”

I will be bringing my camp instruments (musical and otherwise) to ensure that Camp Magic Macguffin is the best dang summer camp experience ever!

Sergeant Pepperstrong is an old salt that has worked at the Campgrounds for as long as anyone can remember. Strong language and a rough demeanor are just the exterior of a man who is actually kind and compassionate, if you get to know him. And you should, because he’s got plenty of stories to tell. Stories of a past that has seen the Campground through the happiest of times, and rumors of a darker history behind these cabin walls.

Wyatt typically lives out on the “Wild Wild Web”, but is spending 10 weeks camped out with ds106 as a brief respite from the dangers of the web. It’s not that Wyatt can’t handle himself out on the web, but sometimes it’s nice not to have to worry about about waking up in the morning with a snake in your boot or a virus in your inbox.

Jabiz is currently teacher in Singapore. He is an amateur writer, musician, photographer, filmmaker and all around provocateur. He is persistently preaching the gospel of sharing and open expression for students and teachers alike. He regularly explores the possibilities of the web not only for his own personal and professional growth, but then he faithfully shares what he finds with students, co-workers and strangers like you. An intense and passionate storyteller, Jabiz has a story to tell to and with you. You can find pieces of his work across the web, but he suggests you start at www.jabizraisdana.com. Or drop him a line on Twitter: @intrepidteacher

Sparkles is a friendly and kindly counselor, though perhaps a little bit scarred from traumatic memories from his own childhood camp ordeals. But the magic of DS106 has encouraged him to leave his inhibitions behind. He’ll be strumming a guitar of tapping the spoons at the campfire singalongs.

I am a composite of characters from various stories. One part refugee from a 19th-century Russian novel, one part pulp thriller villain, plus some residue of a doomed Lovecraft scholar. I speak only in the voice of late-night radio, and sometimes gesture in a pixelated manner.

My name is Zazzy and I’m new the world of summer camp! I’ve worked for 23 years teaching little kids all about music in the public school system, and I’ve loved every minute of it! Then the local school board cut the budget and, well, they mean well.Anyway, I’m makin’ lemons outta lemonade, that’s for sure, and I’m doin’ it McGuffin style! I hope all of you campers will join me in some great music activities this summer as we sing and dance our blues away (some of us bluer than others, no doubt, but that’s what music is for!).

Move over Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas, here comes the REAL Camp Rock!

And not to worry, I ain’t a madman with a hatchet. My real name is Billy, but you can call me Jack.

Doo Wop Girl’s alter ego is hummingcrow. She’s clearly a music lover. Campers may get their feedback sung to them.
