"Somewhere between adolescence and adulthood, I met a woman named Meera. She defined a stage of human development which is physically and psychologically impossible, the unfathomable stage now known as "camp counselor." Meera, my definition of camp counselor, is a rare combination of doctor, lawyer, author, community builder, and mentor. She is a competent child psychologist, resourceful child care worker and strict disciplinarian with a twinkle in her eye. She is a referee, coach, teacher, advisor and friend. She is an example of a grown up in beads and bracelets, skirts and sparkles all-around. Meera is an idol with her head in a cloud and feet in the mud. She is a Kitchen of Dreams maker, Girlapalooza creator, human-size bubble risk taker. There is no off-season for this determined breed, as she is always seeking the next camp to conquer and dreaming of the endless possibilities for seriously-ill children who have yet to know her. She is known to keep camp alive in every heart, sending so much spirit and spanning so much distance, she keeps the postal service in business. In a quiet yet powerful presence, Meera has impacted many, forever teaching, inspiring, and loving in the way camp was always meant to be."
