Another camper that would never leave… Ben is our other homegrown Assistant Director and is on his 10th year working with us.

We have to be a good camp if we hold onto this many grown up campers, right? Alison is yet another one of our campers-turned-staffers and is quickly becoming a camp powerhouse.
