Our February Staff Spotlight features Mia Barnett! Mia is a compassionate, energetic and thoughtful member of our staff team. From her dedication to camp programs (hello Realm Dev Team!) to her enthusiastic dancing on stage, it is clear from all she does that she wants her campers to get the most out of their time at camp- and their growing love of CRC shows how big of an impact that has had! We love having Mia at camp and are thrilled that she will be back at #TheRanch2025! Read below to learn a bit more about Mia’s camp experiences and life in the off-season.
