Danielle

Director (Blue Point)

With 25 years of experience in lifeguarding and camp leadership, I’ve dedicated my career to ensure the safety and growth of children. My journey began as a lifeguard, where I honed my skills in swimming instruction and pool management. Over time, I transitioned into coaching swimming and managing pools, nurturing a passion for guiding others in aquatic activities.Fifteen years ago, I embarked on a new chapter as a special education teacher, driven by a desire to make a difference in the lives of children facing unique challenges. Alongside my teaching role, I continued to engage with youth through camps, finding immense fulfillment in the diverse opportunities they offer for positive impact. Being a part of Campus Camps has been particularly rewarding, allowing me to extend my influence beyond the classroom and pool. I cherish the chance to empower children in various aspects of their lives, fostering growth, confidence, and joy through the camp experience.
