Camp Directors:

Travis Guida and Sarah Coumbe-Guida

Being around children is something we were born to do. We work in Minnesota public schools as special education teachers. We have opened a high ropes course named the Character Challenge Course and enjoy time with our five children. Last summer at one of our camps a 16 old male youth commented, “Can’t I just stay at camp for the rest of the summer? I never knew learning could be so fun.”
