Hello CRL family and friends,
My name is Angela McNeal and I am so happy to kick off the summer with you all! My journey with Red Leaf started in 2015 when I was just 19yrs. old as a first year counselor. Since, I have come back every summer and have worked my way through several positions that have given me a well rounded experience and love for camp! My background in both recreation and working with people with special needs preceded Red Leaf, however my experience here has been the prime of my career.
I have a strong passion for making camp the best it can be by incorporating new ideas and innovative strategies to provide the best experience possible for both campers and staff members!
My favorite things about camp are the talent shows, campfires, the 4th of July celebration, and seeing all of you arrive at drop off day! The team and I have been working very hard to ensure that despite the circumstances, we have a great fun-filled COVID safe summer so I can't wait to welcome you all back!
I look forward to meeting you and your family,
Angela McNeal
