Welcome Message
Hannah, Camp Director
My love for summer camp began when I was just 4 years old. I vividly remember my first day at camp and meeting my first counselor, her name was Daisy. This is a core memory for me, making this my “why”. Why I do what I do is to create these core memories for as many kids as I possibly can and give back the magical experience of summer camp that I am so grateful I got to experience as a kid. That initial experience sparked a lifelong passion for summer camp that has only grown since.
