Colin Nelson

Hometown: Chapel Hill, NC

Experience with Children: I have a lot of experience volunteering with science programs, including: Morehead Planetarium, Museum of Life and Science, Science in the Summer, and the NC Botanical Gardens.

Goals for Summer and Career: For the summer, I want to have as much fun possible with the job of counselor. As for my possible future career, it’s up in the air right now, but I might want to pursue performing (acting/singing/dancing).

Hobbies/Fun Fact: My hobbies include: acting, singing, exploring new music, cooking, running around outside, and dancing. Fun Fact: I have eaten a bug before. I'm sure the kids will get a kick out of that!

Why did you choose to work at Morehead? Since I have volunteered at the Morehead Planetarium before, I was very eager to return as a counselor to continue having fun with kids and helping them expand their interests.
