“Camp High Rocks is an all boys adventure summer camp. We reached out to Aisha to discuss topics around justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Aishia’s message went above and beyond the desired outcome. Our staff were welcomed and encouraged to embark in conversations that promoted growth as people and a community.
