"From my middle school days in 2013 until my high school graduation, CCS wasn't just a weekend school. It was almost the backdrop of my entire childhood. Over those seven years, it became a second home where I built invaluable friendships, discovered incredible opportunities, and grew into who I am today. The impact of this community is why I couldn't simply walk away after graduation. Returning to help with summer camps and staying connected was my way of giving back to a place that gave me so much. As CCS celebrates its 30th anniversary, my hope is that the next generation of students finds the same profound joy, connection, and lifelong memories here that I will cherish forever. Thank you, CCS, for everything. "
