December Birthdays
Hi! I'm Denise Salit and I’ll be your Activities and Program Director for the 2019 camp season. As a past Agawak camper, counselor and Assistant Director I feel like my life is coming full circle. Agawak is such a special place to me as many of my happiest memories come from my home away from home Up North. During the school year, I am a teacher in Lake Bluff, Illinois and have taught reading to children for 27 years. I have a passion for teaching children & connecting with their families.
My family holds camp near and dear to our hearts. My daughter followed in my footsteps as an Agawak camper and counselor and my boys have "camp in their blood" too. How could they not, as my husband Dean and I met on the shores of Blue Lake (literally) 28 years ago when we were both on staff. I am excited to be a part of your daughter's summer. 2019 is sure to be full of fun, excitement, life lessons and tons of happy memories.
We are lucky to have the most wonderful staff around. Check out below who has already committed to coming back in 2019! Everyone’s favorite Chef will be back—”Ducky” Domack We’ve hit a bullseye with Dan Wohlleber back at archery and Karla Lorgus will cooking up good things in Cookwood. Lovely & sweet, Charlotte Patterson will be back as Direc-tor of Intermediate Cabin Life and Intermediate Division Head. These JC2s are eager to come back to share their love of Agawak with campers: Maddie Abrams, Alexis Maurer, Kayla Morris, Emma Plattner, and Katie Zurek We are grateful for our talented and experienced senior counselors: Amanda Amiel, Marley Berk, Zoey Kohn, Ge-navieve Kopesky and Morgan Paull We couldn’t be happier to see our senior counselors from afar coming back for another summer at their home away from home: Georgia L’Estrange (YEAR 6!!), Maddie Stubbs (YEAR 3), Shannon Gentle, Mela Baldan, Farah Baria, Gemma Elliott, Claire Finlay, and Hayley Phelps.
Welcome back everyone! You are the start of a very exciting summer.
Hello from Sara Mervis! Having spent 15 years as a camper, counselor, waterfront director, tripping coor-dinator and coordinator of director affairs, I am thrilled to rejoin the Agawak administrative team. I’ll be wear-ing a few different hats this summer as the Director of Cabin Life for our junior & senior campers, CIT Director
and assisting the admin team in the office. My daughters, 11 and 7, are 3rd-generation Agawak campers. With parenting insight, I will be supporting campers and parents throughout the summer. Currently, I teach special education to 3-5 graders and l am also a Wilson tutor. In my spare time, I enjoy swimming, tennis and camping. I can’t wait to spend this summer with each of you.
We are beyond excited that Chris Garcia, who has been with Aga-wak for 12 years in various roles such as swim instructor, life-guard, and year round office man-
ager will be our Associate Director. Chris holds a masters degree in business admin-istration and has been a swim coach for 25+ years. In addition to managing the office and daily camp operations, Chris is thrilled to have the opportunity to be out and about working more closely with campers and staff.
