🌟 Exciting News from Indian Trails Camp! 🌟
We’re thrilled to announce that Dallas Mora—who rejoined us this fall as our Interim Respite Coordinator—will now be stepping into the role of Camp Director and Respite Coordinator!
Dallas brings a strong background in social work and a deep passion for camp. Many of you may already know him from his years with us—serving as a Camp Counselor in 2021, Assistant Camp Director in 2022 & 2023, and a Respite Counselor from 2021–2024.
Originally from the west side of the state, Dallas spent the past two years in Detroit and is humbled to be returning home to lead Indian Trails Camp. His favorite summer camp activity has always been the camper talent show, and what excites him most about his new role is being able to witness—and help guide—the incredible growth, passion, and love shared between campers and counselors.
Outside of camp, Dallas enjoys marathon training, reading comic books, traveling with his fiancé Alexis, exploring new foods, and spending time with his calico cat, Winnie. He lives by the words of Mahatma Gandhi:
“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”
Please join us in celebrating and welcoming Dallas back to Indian Trails Camp in this exciting new chapter! 💚
