Welcome Message
Victoria Anderson, Camp Director
I grew up in the state of Minnesota, where I learned to explore and appreciate all the outdoors has to offer - in all weather conditions! With a Bachelor’s of Science in Parks, Recreation and Leisure Studies from the University of Minnesota and a Master’s of Education in Natural Sciences and Environmental Education from Hamline University, I believe shared experiences in the outdoors are foundational for building community.
