I currently attend Merced College and I am studying to become an elementary school teacher. I love being outdoors and especially in nature, and it is a big part of who I am. I hope to help campers have a fun and amazing time with Mt. Cross, and teach them the fun of nature.

It's time to meet the 2026 Summer Staff!

"Hello, my name is Cas, and I’m excited to return to Mt. Cross for my second summer as a counselor. I am currently studying Business Administration with an emphasis in Information Technologies at Fresno City College (FCC). While I spend much of my time working toward my academic and professional goals, I deeply value opportunities to step away from the screen, spend time outdoors, and reconnect with the simple joys of camp life.

During my first summer, I learned a great deal and am excited to return with renewed confidence and energy. I look forward to continuing to grow, building meaningful relationships, and helping create a fun and supportive environment for campers. I am especially excited for the new experiences, connections, and adventures that this summer will bring."

It's time to meet the 2026 Summer Staff!

"Hi all! My name is Elyssa and I'm so excited to be back at Mt. Cross this summer! This will be my third summer serving as the Camp Nurse! I've been a nurse for almost 20 years specializing in critical care transport and pediatric nursing. In addition to my nursing cap, I also wear a few teaching hats: I teach the upper elementary Sunday school class at our church, I teach for the School of Nursing at Sac State, and I homeschool my twin 11 year olds (they turn 12 the day after on-site camp ends)! We attend St. John's Lutheran Church in Sacramento.

In my free time, I enjoy crafting, reading, and spending time with my family. I love all things fiber - knitting, spinning, felting, bottle feeding baby livestock, etc. I also love to travel and visit living history sites. Homeschooling is really my excuse to read living history books, learn about the way people live, and visit historic/inspiring sites! Oh and throw in a few science experiments for fun!

I love serving as the nurse at Mt. Cross but also jumping in to help with all the other activities and supporting campers, counselors, and staff. It's amazing to see all the growth in returning campers, not just in height, but their hearts and brains too! I'm looking forward to another fabulous summer learning and growing with the campers and staff at Mt Cross!"
