Welcome Campers, to another great year at IGGPPCamp! Each year, participants of IGGPPCamp are sorted into ‘Troops’. (This is optional– you can still participate in camp if you don’t sign up for a Troop!) These smaller groups are led by 3 counselors who will help organize Troop specific events and activities. Get to know the Campers in your Troop, show your Troop Pride, and collaborate on the Camp Cup Challenge! This page is your handy guide to all of this year’s Troops and the fantastic and illustrious counselors who will be leading them!
TROOP SUNSET
Do you dream of salt water taffy, Ferris wheels, and surf tunes? Are you in need of a fun escape with friends like a giant beach blowout party with a planned choreography to a bespoke song? Or maybe your job is just beach. Troop Sunset welcomes everyone to dip their feet—tiptoed or flat—in the sand. You can be anything in Sunset; just don’t beach anyone off.
Counselors: Swing Barbie, Weird Barbie, Sports Lesbian Barbie
Kristiina (she/her) aka Swing Barbie
Kristiina lives in a Finnish seaside city with a charming beach. She has to be careful going out though: the only time she has badly burned herself was a trip to said beach. (Her first advice as a counselor this year is for everyone to remember their sunscreen and protective clothes.)
If you had to predict what Kristiina was doing, painting, singing, baking, gaming, and petting her cat Muusa would be safe guesses. This is Kristiina’s fourth camp and second year as counselor—you might remember her as Troop PULSAR’s Kosmos from last year.
You can find out more about Kristiina on her website kristiinaseppa.com.

Vic (they/them) aka Weird Barbie
Vic, aka Counselor Weird Barbie, is returning for their 5th year as counselor and 8th overall camp. They spend their free time caring for a feral colony, playing darts and pinball, hitting the roller rink and watching British game shows. Though not as active on discord, they can be found on Instagram @ lifeinpurgatori.
During camp they can be found lurking in the cabin for impromptu watch-a-longs, decorating their bunk and searching for cryptids in the forest. They believe the best part of camp is the power of friendship and being your weird and wonderful self. ✨

Counselors: Mechaskippy, Monster Suit, and Belettezilla!
Christina (she/her) aka MechaSkippy
Over the last year, Chef Skippy decided that she wanted to be more than a chef.. so she became MechaSkippy. Now with robot arms and legs, she’s all set to lead Troop Kaiju. You can find her on Instagram at pbgirl711.

Caitlyn (she/her) aka Monster Suit
Camp Counselor Monster Suit, aka Caitlyn, is a kaiju with heart (and a mysterious zipper on their back). Her average day is spent at her computer trying desperately to focus on her work, surrounded by the ghosts of her previous hyper focuses and three very wiggly dogs. Once she finally gives up on work, Caitlyn can most likely be found curled up with a cheesy romance novel or putting together her newest lego set. She’s looking forward to her first year as a troop counselor at IGGPPC, making crafts and wreaking havoc – err… – spending pleasant evenings with unsuspecting beach goers.
Top 5 geek loves: LOTR, Animal Crossing, Architecture, Legos, Trees

Mathilde (she/her) aka Belettezilla
Camp Counselor Belettezilla (or Mathilde) lives in France, where she didn’t destroy the Eiffel tower like some regular Kaiju. She prefers to destroy and eat food plates, pastries and sweets. She’s been waiting all year long for IGGPPC Summer Camp, because it’s her favorite time of the year! She loves cinema, science-fiction, crafting, music, stargazing and meeting new monsters. Don’t forget to ask her to imitate a dinosaur, she’s the best at this. Graou graou!*

TROOP SIREN
Across the oceans an enchanting song can be heard, luring you to a secret cove. Where mermaid meets mischief and silliness meets sea magic, Troop Siren is here to make a splash! Whether you are singing sea shanties, collecting shells, or turning everyday moments into undersea adventures, the siren’s call can always be heard. We’ve got glitter, good vibes, and maybe a talking seahorse (no promises, he’s shy). So grab your tail, toss your hair like you’ve just swum through a hurricane and join the pod. The sirens are calling…
Counselors: Bubbles, Coral the Sea Witch, Phaux
Sarah (she/her) aka Bubbles
I’m Sarah, BlooPenguin, Bloo or Counsellor Bubbles. I live in the UK with my husband and the neighbourhood cats and hedgehogs, surrounded by my collection of Loungefly bags and Irregular Choice shoes and I still can’t decide where to put a single sticker permanently… I love history, and big old country houses – learning about how people lived, what they thought and what we can learn from them. I love baking and singing along to all sorts of music and kitchen dance parties (not at 3am any more, too old for that now thank you very much!). I’m teaching myself to sew (I love Charm patterns by Gertie and her inclusiveness), and my seam ripper comes in handy far more often than I’d care to admit. I believe in vintage fashion but never vintage values. I’ve been an Iggle since the early days and my favourite part of every year is Camp. Looking forward to another year of fun, silliness and everything that makes IGGPPC amazing!
Top 5 geek loves: Sewing clothes (very enthusiastically but definitely still learning!), 1950s fashion, Disney, musicals, cosy mysteries
Favorite camp activity: Camp watchalongs and midnight feasts 😀
Favorite camp food: S’mores
Favorite camp memory: Glitter bombing other troops’ cabins!
Zoe (she/her) aka Coral the Sea Witch
Hello! I’m Zoe and I’m a 37 year old nerd hailing from the East Coast of the US. I dreamed of swimming with the dolphins and living under the sea as a child, so I am very excited to be part of Troop Siren this year! On land, I enjoy everything magical, fantastical and witchy. Dragons, fairies, pirates, witches, mermaids, hobbits, etc! You’ll find me playing video games, working on arts & crafts, spending time with my two cats and spending time outside when I can.
Top 5 geek loves: Anything magical or fantastical, video games, crafting, nature and cats!
Favorite camp activity: Blanket Fort wine nights and all the crafting!

Caitlan (she/her) aka Phaux
In the grim dark future there are only foxes! – Caitlan is a unique one. It is common you will find her relaxing witha true crime podcast, painting and building warhammer, or gaming.
