It’s 2019… Do we know where our staff is?
You Betcha! Back in late 2018, many staff contacted us to say they would like to return. This ensures that we will have veterans in place to lead the charge into another great summer underneath the towering white pines. Many of our key positions have been filled, and cabin counselors and trip staff are coming into the fold.
We are excited to announce that David Sachs and Jake Miller will be sharing our Swamper Village. Alex Gordon will be our Logger Village Director for his 10th year while alumni Andy Rolfe returns back to camp as the Axeman Village Director. Heading up our Lumberjack Village will be Andy Cohen and Noah Stein. Louis Levin will be returning as our Program Director for the summer of 2019.
