Elijah began his journey with the River Parkway Trust in the summer of 2022 as a camp counselor at River Camp Academy, helping pilot the brand-new school district partnership program. His love for River Camp has inspired him to return, working with River Camp any chance he got. He initially started working as a camp counselor to gain leadership experience and to help him come out of his shell and create new experiences that he will remember forever. Currently he works with the Trust’s River Field Trip Program as a Program Facilitator and will be part of the River Camp Leadership Team as the River Camp Academy Site Director at Sycamore Island. Elijah's summer goal is to make camp fun for all kids and to encourage campers to come out of their shells and confidently be themselves. He will always do anything in order to bring a smile to the faces of all campers. In his spare time Elijah enjoys hiking and taking walks in nature.
