Paula Castillo

Cabin & Activity Counselor

Camper Years: 2017-23
Staff: 1st Year
Hometown: Naperville Illinois, USA and now I’m in lisle, IL for college

Hi! My name is Paula, and I’m a rising sophomore at Benedictine University in Lisle, Illinois, where I’m double majoring in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology with a minor in Spanish. I’m also studying Piano Performance and am part of the cheer team on campus. Music has always been a big part of my life—I love playing piano and teaching it to younger students. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, spending time outside, and being creative. I’m so excited to return to Clearwater—camp was such a special part of my childhood, and I feel really grateful to come back as a counselor this summer. I’m passionate about working with kids, building meaningful connections, and creating a fun and supportive environment. I’m looking forward to giving back to a place that gave me so much and making lifelong memories with campers and staff!
