We are happy to announce that Steve (Steve-O) Von Glahn is returning to CKMinisink this summer to oversee the Adventure Program. This is Steve-O’s sixth summer with us, having been a bunk counselor, Village Coordinator and Adventure Program Coodinator. Steve-O oversees a staff of 20 ropes course instructors who staff the ropes course, climbing wall and aqua zip. His leadership and enthusiasm make these activities among the most popular with campers!
Some campers are ready to experience the ropes course as soon as they get to camp, and others like to watch the activity for a few days… to really see what the experience is… and, then they want to give it a try. Then, their comment is…. I did it!!
We are also pleased to announce the return of our Lake Coordinator, Melissa Lefkowitz. This will be Melissa’s eighth summer at CKMinisink…. she was a camper, staff assistant, counselor, assistant Lake Coordinator and Lake Coordinator. Melissa oversees up to 25 lifeguards, all swim instruction and recreational swim and “the blob”. In addition to overseeing the swimming aspect of our lake, she also works closley with the Small Crafts Coordinator . Melissa teaches an ARC lifeguarding course, and several first aid and CPR courses. She loves to teach campers to swim and sees this as an important life skill.
It is fun to hear Melissa share stories about camper accomplishments at the lake… whether it is a camper’s first time putting their face in the water or the success in learning the breast stroke.
