Welcome Message
Jacqui, Camp Director
My first experience with GDI was in 2006 with my 7th-grade science class at Cherry Cove. It was a pivotal experience in my life that I continued to chase. I returned for multiple years with my science classes and eventually joined the summer camp experience. As soon as I was old enough, I applied as a camp counselor in 2013. I continued to return every summer as a crew captain, then head counselor, and eventually assistant summer camp director. And now I have the privilege and honor to be the summer camp director for our 1-week Sea Camp Program.
