Attended Camp: 2023, 2025

This year, David is returning to Camp Ballibay after first joining the team in the summer of 2023. Back then, he experienced how powerful and inspiring a creative and open-minded environment can be — not just for the campers, but also for the staff. He is excited to return this summer as part of the Art team, focusing on painting and drawing, and is looking forward to guiding and encouraging campers in their artistic exploration.

Professional Bio:
David is from Germany, where he attended a unique high school specializing in the arts. There, he developed a broad artistic skillset through working with both traditional techniques—such as sketching, painting, sculpture, and photography—and more experimental media like 3D modeling, animation, performance art, and design.

Since 2021, David has been studying Art History and Film Studies at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz. In addition, he has been working in the costume department of the State Theater Mainz since 2023, further deepening his understanding of theatrical design and creative processes. David is excited to bring his diverse artistic background back to Ballibay and be part of another unforgettable summer.
