Hello! This is the fourth year of JMC and I could not be more excited to see the returning campers and to meet the new kids joining us this summer. While I've spent a majority of my career in the recreation and athletics world, I've been able to use my Outdoor Education master's degree and K-12 PE teaching degree in non-traditional ways, mainly through spending a lot of my summers working/running camps. My camp experience ranges from being a Waterski Instructor and Camping Director at an overnight sports camp in Maine to running state-licensed programs for the City of Loveland during grad school to developing the STEAM Camps at EUREKA! McConnell Science Museum in Grand Junction. I'm stoked to combine these diverse camp experiences into the Junior Mountaineers program for youth in the Gunnison Valley!
