Presli has loved Miniwanca since 2011, when she spent her first summer on the dunes as a “staff kid.” She has returned nearly every summer since as a camper, National Leadership Conference participant, cabin leader, Four Trails leader, summer camp coordinator, and school program facilitator. She believes the real magic of Miniwanca is the impact of being part of a positive community that wholeheartedly supports its members in the good work of being their authentic, best selves.
Since graduating from Central Michigan University in 2022 with a degree in Recreation, Parks, and Leisure Services Administration, Presli continues to pursue her passion for youth empowerment in her role as Program Coordinator for Miniwanca’s Community and School Programs. Her favorite part of her job is watching participants grow as they step outside their comfort zones and discover new things about themselves as they overcome challenges in new environments!
In her free time, she enjoys traveling, spending time outdoors, listening to music, and spending quality time with her friends, family, and dogs, Luna and Jovi.
