Zarreen Perpall
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “How do they do that?” when watching professional athletes, you’ll understand exactly why we admire Zarreen. She makes sure everyone is where they need to be, doing exactly what they need to do. Snacks, permits, equipment, you name it!… she does it all while making sure everyone is having fun. Zarreen's role is what makes her a great travel buddy – always staying calm and up to try anything!
Director
Kevin Scott
No one can hold a conversation like Kevin, and if you want to talk about the Giants, prepare to stay a while. He loves having a good time and learning something along the way, so it makes sense that he plans the fun, educational trips our campers go on. Kevin believes healthy habits are key to a happy life. Kevin proudly experiences Kids Orbit through the eyes of a Lead Supervisor and a program parent.
