Volunteer spotlight
Hello, My Name is Fabiola Mateos, I am a happy Latina camp host at Chitactac Adams park. I enjoy being a camp host because every morning I wake up to open the park, as I'm walking through the park I can smell the fresh air and feel the breeze in my face as the birds are singing. Being outdoors enjoying nature is a great experience as a camp host.
