Bon Voyage, Moon Rock (Jon Larsen)
A part of Caldera for the past six years, Moon Rock has been a Middle School Mentor, Camp Director, and most recently our Education Director. He's been a constant in the lives of our youth and staff. It is with gratitude (and, of course, some sadness to see him go) that we say farewell to Moon Rock as he moves on to his next adventure–traveling.
We've set up a special email and Google Voice phone number (202.792.6255) for the Caldera Community to send appreciations to Moon Rock. |
