Directors
Sheldon Calvary Camp is led year-round by four directors: Tim Green (Executive Director), Jenna Pasquino (Assistant Director), Susan Roth (Summer Camp Director), and the Rev. Leslie Reimer (Director of Spiritual Life). The Calvary Camp Board of Directors also provides guidance and direction for the life of the camp.
Summer Program Staff
Prior to each season the camp hires summer camp staff (ages 17+) to serve as counselors and facilitate our summer programs. All new staff members complete child abuse and criminal background checks. Summer camp staff attend a week of Staff Training at the beginning of the season, during which they develop as a team, learn and build upon their counseling skills, create activity plans for their program areas (i.e. Tennis, Archery, Aquatics etc.), and are certified or re-certified in Red Cross First Aid and CPR/AED.
Elective area coordinators and supervisors comprise the summer Leadership Team, who provide mentorship and guidance within specific elective areas and among the rest of the staff.
Staff-in-Training
The Staff-In-Training (SIT) program bridges the gap between being a camper and a staff member, offering a unique opportunity for 17-year-olds to learn about and contribute to every part of the camp. SITs spend their days supporting different program areas (i.e. Experiential Education, Fine Arts, Recreation, etc.), helping with daily maintenance tasks, and assisting in the kitchen, as well as counseling. The goals of the SIT program are to provide a wide range of experiences through which participants gain an appreciation for and understanding of all that goes into making camp a reality; to develop their skill in working with children; and to help them identify program areas where their gifts and interests could be a good fit the following summer.
