Team ESF

There is something very unique about our camp family that brings our campers back year after year. It's more than fun. It's more than learning. It is a special bond between our staff and our campers.

Our campers learn from the best! Our counselors are experienced teachers and college students pursuing degrees in Early Childhood, Elementary, Secondary and Physical Education, Child Psychology, and other fields of study. Teachers, known for their expertise in the area in which they instruct, direct each of our programs. Our aquatic staff, made up of experienced Red Cross and YMCA certified lifeguards and instructors, leads our swimming program. Our staff encourages campers to reach their highest potential through an exciting, safe, and supportive environment. Through limited enrollment and a low camper to staff ratio, campers receive the individual attention they deserve.

Our Dynamic Staff

Our staff is dedicated and strives to make a positive difference in the lives of children. We provide college internship opportunities for our undergraduate and graduate staff members and we offer professional development opportunities (CEU Credits / Act 48) for the teachers on our staff. For staff members, ESF is considered one of the finest training grounds for educators and leaders.

We hire individuals who have experience working with children. Our team of professional educators and college students possesses exceptional skills, a commitment to the development of each camper, and sensitivity to their needs. They continually offer a helping hand and give campers the confidence needed to try new activities. They encourage campers to learn, to grow, to trust in their abilities, and to believe in themselves. Above all, our staff has the determination and the dedication to make a difference in the lives of children.
