Familiar Faces

The staff returning to camp · Summer 2026

Ahead of this summer, we sent our staff a note asking for a few photos for the website — and added a challenge: if you grew up here, dig up the earliest picture you can find of yourself at camp.

The replies that came back were too good not to share. So here are a few of the faces returning to camp this summer — some of whom have a long history in these fields.

Jack put his mom on the case, and she delivered. The first shot is from what he calls his “unofficial” first year — visiting the Pearcys at camp before he was old enough to be a camper. The second is his official first summer, the COVID year, caught mid-chapter on a bench.
