Summer Staff at Silver Lake

"I am blessed to be a five-year Silver Lake Summer Staff alumnus. It is not a stretch for me to say that Silver Lake has made me the person I am today. The Lake taught me life lessons, skills, and morals. It also gave me friends that I will have for life, a second home, and a place to grow up, though I am still growing because of Silver Lake. I am pleased to be a Board member and thankful that I had so many summers to give to the place I love so much."
Graham Sweetnam, Silver Lake Board Member, talks about his time on the Silver Lake Summer Staff. Read the full post
