 Division Leader, Stepping Stones
“It's been nine summers since I started at North Shore Day Camp, and I can't wait to start my tenth summer. Both of my own children have spent many a fabulous summer at North Shore. My son will be returning for his tenth summer as a Counselor in Training. During the off season, I am a 3rd grade teacher for the New York City Public Schools. I hold a Master's in Early Childhood Education. Prior to teaching 3rd grade, I taught Kindergarten for 12 years. I love the babies! I am excited about starting another fantastic summer at North Shore.”

“This is my 13th summer at North Shore Day Camp, and the last 7 years in charge of the Voyagers, the teen travel program. I learn more about your children with each summer experience, where we form strong bonds. The Voyagers are smart and eager to grow and learn from our trips, discussions and events. We experience what it is to be a counselor through our Mentoring program. During the year I am the manager and event coordinator at the Robbie Wagner Tournament Training Tennis Center where I see many of our campers and parents. It is a gift to be around young people and it is one that I cherish and love to accept.”
