Hey friends! My name is Allessandra Mitchell but at camp I go by Alex. I am a proud Fiver alumna from the class of 2008. I am so excited to be on the Camp WiFiver team this summer to bring an incredible camp experience to our participants. This has by far been my favorite experience because the passion and love Fiver has for the participants we serve shines. My favorite part of being at camp is everything outdoors. The open space, lake and pool. Outside of camp I really enjoy event planning and design and I am a full time guidance counselor at a high school in The Bronx.
