2025 Lake Valley Camp Specialty Staff

Specialized team members play critical roles at Lake Valley Camp to make sure the experience is the best that it can be! This could range anywhere from providing quality meals for the whole camp, making sure all equipment and cabins are clean and ready for campers, or ensuring all staff and participants have their health needs met. Keep an eye out for our program instructors as well. They provide unique skills that our campers will get to learn from over the summer, such as aquatics, garden, equestrian, and expeditions. A special thank you to these individuals for doing all of the behind the scenes work that makes Lake Valley Camp the beloved place that it is!
