July is Park and Recreation Month, and this week, we're thrilled to shine a spotlight on some of the dedicated individuals at our Parks and Recreation Department. Let's meet Angelina Tomattis, our amazing Camp Supervisor, who has been an integral part of our team for five wonderful years.

Whether it's organizing fun field trips, engaging in creative art projects, or dancing to their favorite tunes, Angelina is always there for her campers, providing them with unforgettable experiences.
When asked about her favorite camp memory, Angelina fondly recalls last year's color wars. "Our team didn't win, but the kids were still so happy about playing. They loved being creative with our chants and made a lot of great memories."
Join us in celebrating Angelina and the entire Parks and Recreation team for their dedication and passion in making every camp experience special for our campers!
