Spring is here at Leigh Farm Park. Box turtles are coming out of brumation, redbud trees are blooming - and PWC's spring camps are in full swing! With intersession camps and Homeschool in the Wild in session, we're highlighting one of the amazing counselors who makes these programs possible: support counselor Nathan Barraza!

Nathan grew up in many different places, including Washington, but one thing they all had in common was beautiful places to visit in nature. Growing up around these natural wonders gave Nathan a deep curiosity about his surroundings, and he's made it his goal to learn as much as he can about life on our planet. When he's not working at camp, Nathan likes to garden, hike, and practice amateur botany.

Nathan joined PWC's camp staff as a support counselor in September 2022. Since then, he's become one of our campers' favorite staff members! He is always eager to teach and learn about the plants and animals campers encounter while adventuring in the woods. And despite being the youngest counselor on staff, Nathan has been a wonderful mentor to the kids and teens in our programs.

Thank you, Nathan, for being such a positive influence on our campers! We're excited to see how you grow as a leader this season.
