CAMP Spotlight on Mark Morales
Mark has volunteered and worked at CAMP since 2021, attending summer sessions and year-round programs.
He originally signed up for CAMP because a friend told him it would be an amazing experience to help individuals with disabilities. “When I’m at CAMP I feel like I’m at home, because since I was very young my number one goal was to make those around me happy and it’s always a blast knowing I can do that at CAMP!”
Mark’s highlight of this summer was giving the medical Mustang tribe the best time at the dance, along with an amazing week of activities.
“CAMP is the best place for anyone and everyone to create amazing friendships and the opportunity to experience the awesome activities CAMP has to offer!”
Favorite CAMP Activity: “Most definitely canoeing because I love being out in the river with my best friends looking at the beautiful nature around us.”
Fantastic!
