Azreena B. Thomas, MD
Vice Treasurer
Neurologist
Read Bio
Dr. Thomas has been on the Board of CAMP since May 2014. She was introduced to CAMP initially because of the potential for her adult patients with disabilities (and their families) to benefit from the unique services provided by the CAMP program. However, she became an ardent supporter of CAMP once her daughter volunteered as a summer camp counselor. She stated “there is a tremendous benefit for the young people who volunteer at Camp CAMP. Not only do they gain a great sense of responsibility, maturity, and accomplishment, but also become instilled with qualities of empathy, nurturing, compassion, fellowship, gratitude and devotion. The experience is life changing not only for the campers and their families, but also the counselors.”

Dana Fox
Vice Secretary
Attorney At Law
Read Bio
Dana began her association with CAMP as a teenager, in 1995, when the Camp Director came to her high school Health Class to present a recruitment slideshow. She knew that CAMP was a place she needed to work, before the presentation even concluded, and began as a C.I.T. (Counselor In Training) that summer. During her years as a Summer CAMP volunteer at the Center Point campgrounds, Dana worked her way through every cabin counselor position up to Staff Trainer- a Core Staff position, at the time- in 2003. Though that summer before Law School was the last that she was able to work full-time out at the campgrounds, Dana remained closely involved with the CAMP Staff and various CAMP Alumni and fundraising activities throughout the years, before being asked to join the Board in 2015.
Through her volunteering with CAMP, Dana learned invaluable leadership, public speaking, conflict resolution, and organizational skills that have allowed her to grow from a shy, insecure teenager into the compassionate, confident professional she is today. CAMP also introduced Dana to her husband, Mick, while they were teenage volunteers at the Center Point campgrounds. Together, they enjoy raising their son, Liam, spending time with family and friends, “binging” their favorite TV shows, and reminiscing with fellow CAMP Alums about the “good old days” while looking toward the future.
Dana is honored to be able to help govern the organization that has made so much possible for her over the past twenty years.
