Young Folks Coordinator

The Young Folks Coordinator (YFC) is responsible for overseeing the quality, flow, and safety of the Young Folks program for Pre-Kinder, TK, and Kindergarten campers (ages 4+). 

The Young Folks program operates in conjunction with the main camp, with an alternate, age-appropriate schedule. It is designed to be child-centered, project-based, and inspired by Reggio and Montessori educational paradigms. 

 

The YFC oversees the Young Folks’ staff, curriculum, and schedule. They ensure all activities are set-up and implemented in a manner that aligns with the mission. They are experts at this unique age range and the developmental milestones associated.
