CAMILLE'S CRS STORY

At Rising Sun, I was first exposed to what servant leadership was and had the opportunity to practice it. I had several firsts during my time at Camp – canoeing, camping, living in a sustainable environment, and, most importantly, living with a group of amazing girls from all parts of the world and across the US. It was sometimes uncomfortable and intimidating making mistakes and doing things for the first time. It was also very gratifying and memorable. I knew this was a unique experience.

My time at Rising Sun has shaped how I engage people in my personal life and the career choices I make. I have now enjoyed several years of engagement with a vast alumni community. It has been invaluable to build relationships across generations, cultures, faiths, and locations with a collective desire for altruism and service to our communities.

Being able to live and practice these values and behaviors as a young adult will create future global leaders with the confidence to improve their communities.

We thank our Board of Directors for their passionate leadership of LAJF and CRS! Their work ensures the successful operations and sustainable future of our organization.
