Leadership Team

Camp is governed by a volunteer board that consists of parents, educators, corporate, trade and business people.

The entire board volunteers at camp as counselors and most have been involved since 1998. Everyone on the board is skilled and knowledgeable in working with persons with developmental disabilities. Many are First Aid, CPR and AED certified.
