Lee's Story
When I graduated from Boston University and began working as a CPA, I had no intention of returning to the camp where I grew up. I loved day camp, looked back fondly on my memories as a camper and staff member, but was unsure of whether or where I would fit in.
So in 1993, when I received a call from my mother Sandy asking me to come back and head the waterfront, I hesitantly accepted.
I Love Coming to Work!
Years later, it is impossible to imagine my life without Maplewood, children laughing and learning, helping to direct the camp my father and mother worked so hard to create.
After working towards a Masters's in Early Childhood Education, I learned that in order to improve, we must focus on the strengths of Maplewood’s programming and constantly looks at ways to evolve.
With two of my own day campers in attendance, I enjoy nothing more than hearing their, and others' experiences as Maplewood children.
I absolutely love coming to work each day and I am devoted to making everyone touched by Maplewood feel like family.
Camp Director
Little did I know I would soon look out into the fields in the same manner as that of my father, with a vision to create, build, and try new things to improve the Maplewood day camper's experience.
Everything symbolized opportunity. I would soon come to find that nothing made me happier or more complete than when I could actively play a role in helping children, staff, and parents connect in a positive and fun environment.
