The sun is shining, the lake is looking beautiful, and our campers are already having a blast! But a camp is only as amazing as the crew running it. Today, we want to give a massive shoutout to the incredible team leading the fun this summer.

From familiar faces who grew up right here on these shores to the awesome new additions joining our camp family, meet the 2026 crew:

👑 The Leadership Duo
**Meghan (AKA Mrs. Vos) – Camp Director: Back for her 4th summer at the helm, keeping everything running smoothly and safely!
**Ashlee & Ashley: Our dynamic administrative duo is back! Ashlee is celebrating an incredible 6th summer with us, and Ashley is back for her 2nd summer of camp magic.

🔄 The "Grew Up at Camp" Crew
**Liam: Back for his 2nd summer as a counselor, but he’s true Swanzey royalty—starting out way back as a camper and a CIT!
**Isaac: Also in his 2nd summer as a counselor, continuing a long tradition after coming up through our camper and CIT ranks!
**Ava: Returning for her 2nd summer as a counselor, after first keeping everyone safe by the water as a beach attendant!

🌟 The Returning Rockstars
