Charis Martin, Visiting Young Scholar, Counselor and DIGIVATIONS Day Camp-Half Blood Visiting Young Scholar is an Ancient History student at the University of Edinburgh, focusing on the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. She credits growing up on the island of Cyprus, steeped in Greek culture and mythology, with nurturing her love for the ancient world and the tales that formed and inspired it. She has spent six years working with children from the ages of three to fifteen and loves the opportunity to share her knowledge with them and see them develop interests of their own. Her own interests include writing original stories and fan fiction, reading, sailing, scuba-diving, archery and acting. She also speaks Greek and often attempts cooking traditional Greek foods. Having participated in overnight camps since the age of six, she is very excited to meet other campers, share her love for mythology with them and have the opportunity to work with children in a fun and dynamic environment.
