Monjmaa Sanoh, who recently graduated from Uncommon Charter High School, is spending her summer far away in the woods of Maine, very different from the bustle of Crown Heights.

Before heading to Worcester Polytechnic Institute in the fall to study architecture, Sanoh is spending this summer at Camp Uncommon in Otisfield, Maine, where she is serving as a camp counselor.

It’s an opportunity for her to give back to the camp that gave her so much when she was younger, growing up in Brooklyn.

She was 10 years old when she first attended Camp Uncommon over the summer and fell in love with it – spending the next three summers there, including a virtual camp during the pandemic in 2020.
