Aarna Gupta

Founder, PSLA

Hi! I'm 17 years old, a current senior at Interlake High School (class of 2025). I'm passionate about helping the community and working with kids, and there is no better way to do this than having a summer program that is open to everyone! I believe in taking time away from electronics to connect with the world around us, and both the new generation and COVID have had a large impact on this.

​

This is why I started a small summer camp in 2020 for elementary schoolers. During COVID, I saw the negative effects stemming from the lack of socialization. This is why I wanted to create a space where they can connect with others, be outside, and have a great time (yes that's possible). As a former Cherry Crest alumni (2018), I found it best to host the camp in the place I made my most valuable memories and the place I considered my second home! Thanks to the support and love from the Cherry Crest community, the camp has grown more than I could have imagined! I'm proud to announce a successful summer of running the fifth year of camp, larger than it has ever been!

​

In my efforts to give back to the community, I donated my entire 2022 and 2023 PSLA Summer Camp profits ($1,000 each year) to Cherry Crest Elementary School. To learn more about the Cherry Crest donation, click here.

Besides helping the community, I love participating in volleyball, theatre, reading, hanging out with friends, and drawing. I cannot wait to meet your child at camp this summer!
