Our Director
|
Dayna Glasson Hardin arrived at Lake of the Woods Camp in 1979
and worked her way up from camper to counselor to assistant director before becoming an owner/director in 1997.
Dayna is very involved in the camp industry and serves as President for the Midwest Association of Independent Camps (MAIC).
In addition, she serves on the American Camp Association's Illinois section Board. She speaks at camp conferences throughout
the year on topics ranging from helping campers cope with homesickness to trends in camping. She has received a number of
awards for her dedication to the camp industry. Dayna and her husband Terry have two children, Dylan and Tyler who join her at
camp all summer.
Associate Director
Dana Cohn has over 16 years of camp experience as a former Lake of the Woods camper, counselor, program director
and during the winter months is the full-time assistant director. Dana is involved in staff recruitment, staff training,
program development and has terrific relationships with our campers and staff.
Operations Director
Former camper, counselor and year round director Emily "FERDIE" Ferdman, is
thrilled to be a part of the Lake of the Woods and Greenwoods staff. After graduating from the University
of Wisconsin-Madison with a degree in English, Emily quickly realized her dream to work at her
childhood summer camp. As the Operations Director, Emily works behind the scenes and is especially excited about
her new role as Alumni Director!
Our Staff
We believe that any camp is only as good as its people. We select only the finest counselors to guide
and care for our campers. Our overall staff-to-camper ratio of 1 to 3 ensures that campers receive
the individual attention they deserve. The average age of our counseling staff is 21 years old.
We hire young teachers and mature college and graduate students, many of whom are education
or recreation majors, from around the world. We have 3 to 4 counselors living with campers in each cabin.
Each year we receive over 1800 applications and select fewer than 10% of the applicants to serve on our staff.
Each counslor is dedicated to making our campers' experience enjoyable and memorable. Campers establish
enduring friendships with their counselors that last a lifetime.
