Our Counselors

Fun in the Sun is staffed by experienced teachers and counselors. The counselors have themselves attended Fun in the Sun. This makes them especially qualified in that they are well known by the teachers and they have the advantage of truly knowing the program and its expectations.

I love doing arts and crafts with the campers and this summer I’ll be introducing our youngest campers to the joy of literacy during story time.

Kate is also the Aquatic Director at Fun in the Sun. If you are interested in swim lessons for your child please contact Kate directly.
