With camp drawing nearer, we’re super excited to have our Head staff in place and eager to make this summer the best one yet. Our team works diligently to create exciting programs and events all term long. Whether it’s organizing swim meets, announcing field day winners, counting up tribe points, or leading gymkhanas, our Head staff team is the core of camp operations.

Megan is excited to come back and share her passion for camp. Here are a few words from the fantastic gal herself:
“Howdy, my name is Megan and I will be the Head O’ Field Sports this summer! I am currently an Education major at Texas A&M (Whoop!). I was first introduced to camp by my grandmother. The Heart was a very special place for the both of us and it was a bond that we shared together. Last summer I had the amazing opportunity of coming back to camp as a counselor and I was reminded of what a special place The Heart is. I am beyond excited to come back to camp!! I cannot wait to get started and play a role in giving our campers the best summer yet!!!♥” -Megan
