Meet our Siblings 

Hi! I'm Camille, and I'm absolutely thrilled to be an Older Sibling this year. Some of my passions include writing, art, reading, cooking, spending quality time with friends and family, and lending a helping hand to those around me. Beyond my role as an Older Sibling, I'm actively involved in various extracurricular activities, such as DECA, the CLF Ambassadors Program, and several clubs. Working with kids is something that's always brought me joy; I'm a reading and math tutor outside of school, and I've had the privilege of being a counselor at multiple camps. I'm truly excited to bring my enthusiasm and experience to support and mentor the students in our program.
