Medical Staff
Protecting your child and keeping them healthy at camp is important to all of us. Our summer nurses come with a wealth of knowledge and experience, and we are happy to have three very experienced individuals leading our medical team.
Marc Baron, along with his sisters, joined camp as campers in the Summer of 1988, when his mother was the camp nurse. After spending many summers as a camper, Marc then worked as a counselor for two summers. We were very happy that Marc introduced Heather to Camp in the Summer of 2019 when they both helped us with nursing coverage. They took over as our co-Directors of Nursing the following year in the summer of 2020. The Baron family has now been a part of camp, in one fashion or another, for over 35 years.
