Sanibel Recreation Department Recognizes Volunteers of the Month Katie Santos and Nick Smith
The City of Sanibel Recreation Department would like to recognize Volunteers of the Month Katie Santos and Nick Smith.
Katie Santos and Nick Smith are both new to our team of “Counselors In Training” (C.I.T.) dedicating their volunteer time to working with the youth Summer Camp Program at the Sanibel Recreation Center. Both Santos and Smith began volunteering in July and have logged an average of over 200 hours. They enjoy assisting counselors by playing table games with the summer campers, setting up gym activities and assisting with arts and crafts. When asked how volunteering has impacted their life Santos replied, “It has made me more responsible and more open-minded.” And Smith answered, “It has shown me that you can learn something from each person you meet even if they are a child.”
Santos is going into her sophomore year at Cypress Lake High School in the fall. She recently moved to Sanibel from Texas and has lived in 3 other states prior to Florida. In her free time Santos enjoys shopping, hanging out with her friends and training for her high school track team.
Smith is going into his freshman year at Fort Myers High School in the International Baccalaureate program. In his spare time he enjoys playing baseball, working out and reading. Smith grew up on Sanibel Island and attended the Sanibel School as well as the After School Program and Summer Camp Program for 8 years at the Sanibel Recreation Center.
