Our Team

Built on Experience, Friendship, and a Shared Mission

Our camps are brought to life by a dedicated team of seasoned professionals, passionate volunteers, camp alumni, and Waldorf educators. We come from diverse backgrounds and professions, but we are united by a shared commitment: to give today’s campers the same incredible experiences that shaped us.

Many of us grew up in these very camps as campers ourselves, forging lifelong friendships and unforgettable memories. By volunteering our time and energy, we honor the traditions and experiences that were offered to us, ensuring that future generations have the same opportunity to discover the magic of the outdoors and the power of community.

We work year-round to refine every detail, collaborating to create an environment where campers feel safe, supported, and free to embrace adventure. At the heart of our leadership philosophy is the belief that the best leaders lift others up. Like the base of a cheerleading pyramid, our role is to encourage, guide, and provide a strong foundation where campers—and each other—can thrive.

Adventure Camps is more than just a summer program; it’s a legacy of connection, growth, and adventure. We are honored to carry it forward for the next generation.

The People Who Have Shaped and Continue to Shape Our Camps

Honoring the directors, contributors, organizers, creators, and supporters—past and present—who have helped build, sustain, and grow our camps. We are deeply grateful to those who have guided us, from the founders who first envisioned these camps to the planners, mentors, and counselors who have carried them forward. Some have led, some have advised, and some have simply shown up, time and time again, to cook meals, teach songs, or offer a steady hand when it was most needed. Through times of challenge and change, their dedication has ensured that camp remains a place where children can grow, connect, and find joy in nature.

The names below have had or have a significant impact on the camps today in their culture, operation, and continued growth. Each has played a role in shaping the camp experience for generations of campers. Their contributions — big and small — have helped create the traditions, community, and spirit that make our camps what they are today.
