Oscar Hodder

Hometown: Orinda CA

Major: History Undergrad, Earthsystems Coterm

Position: Mergansers

Three things I love to do: Try (unsuccessfully) to befriend the crows outside my house, play volleyball with friends, see how much food I can fit onto a single plate at a dining hall.

I could talk all day about: “Would you rather” questions, the ocean / sharks, history, fantasy books, travel, embarrassing rumors about my closest friends, my favorite foods!

I would love to connect with guests about: Sustainability, the ocean, communications, oysters.

Biosketch: You may recognize Oscar from his starring role as Jafar in Del Rey Elementary School's 2013 production of Aladdin the Musical. If you don’t know him from that, you probably don’t know him at all. It’s possible you remember Oscar from Camp in 2022, when he was the Arts Instructor, or from 2024, when he was in the Chicken and a Mergansers Counselor. But probably you know him as Jafar. In his summers between Camp Oscar spent time traveling and working as a writing intern for a science magazine. Oscar loves the outdoors, and adventures of all kinds. He’s about to leave Stanford and is so excited to have another summer at Camp! Oscar loves animals and pets, so just say the word if you want him to overshare about his own.
