Wisconsin camp teaches student the value of living in the moment and initiative

By Brody Jennings ’26

Zac Oseran ’28 begins each year with fresh memories in mind. Each summer he embarks on a journey to a summer camp in Wisconsin with his brothers. Bonding them together, the long time tradition has fostered important values such as living in the moment into Oseran’s life. 

Following his brief summer experience in Wisconsin, Oseran applies his takeaways to life at school. “You get such a limited time there even though it feels so long that you got to make every moment matter. So I’ve kind of just taken that and put it in my daily life,” said Oseran. 

The idea of living in the moment is something that drives Oseran in his day to day life at school. President of the Sports Business club, a recent endeavor focusing on teaching students how to manage a professional sports team from the eyes of a general manager, Oseran keeps busy with his extracurricular activities. 

But not only does Oseran run a club, he is also an avid debater for Brophy Speech and Debate, and also a competitor on the tennis team, with aspirations of making varsity tennis in the future.

“My goal this year is just high JV. So then junior and senior year I can make varsity. I’ll be happy there,” Oseran said.

But despite the increasing pressure of college applications that is beginning to arise, Oseran is deliberate on staying driven by making the most of his time, a skill that his brief summers in Wisconsin taught him. 

Oseran said, “Obviously like college applications are in the back of the mind always, but I mean going through high school years, like the main goal should just be: ‘have fun’.”

Inspired by his summers in Wisconsin, Oseran is focused on living in the moment and having fun, looking to manage his high school years into something successful he can appreciate now and down the road.
