ESF FEEDS PASSIONS AND
POWERS SUPERHERO POTENTIAL!

Hello! My name is Lafay Johnson and I am the Site Director for ESF at Friends Select School.

Summer 2025 will mark my 4th summer with ESF! I started my tenure as an Assistant Senior Camp Director and have worked in almost every role while at ESF Camps. I’ve been awarded over 10 Bravo Zulu Awards for excellence in my various roles by teammates and will soon be a graduate of ESF’s Leadership Boot Camp.

During the year, I serve as the full-time Program Director for the ESF Dream Camp Foundation, where I aid in providing after-school programming and academic workshops that focus on homework help and literacy support to scholars from historically under-resourced areas in the Philadelphia region.

I can’t wait to see you this Summer!

  • What I love about working at ESF is…
    The endless opportunities that I get to impact the lives of youth daily! Being a lifelong educator, I love that ESF allows me to have an impact through education and sports while having so much FUN!
  • My favorite camp tradition is…
    The daily Spirit stick and Oracle challenges that our campers bring so much competitive energy, fun and passion to.
  • An ESF fun fact about me is…
    After my first summer at ESF, I helped to start the first-ever Aquatics program at ESF Dream Camp Foundation in Philadelphia.
