Miriam aka “Cilantro” was a fantastic volunteer that assisted at the Summer Park Program’s East Ave Park location. She was the first participant to complete our "Virtual Junior Counselor Program" which was designed with the goal of creating responsible and independent young leaders who could contribute positively to our camp and their community.
Her enthusiasm and ability to connect with campers helped her in leading camp activities, providing positive behavior guidance and gaining the respect of camp staff. Cilantro was a source of light for the camp and a constant ball of energy that really contributed to creating a safe environment and encouraging campers to be more open to new and different experiences.
