She has also worked at YMCA Camp Erdman in Hawaii, YMCA of the Rockies in Colorado, and was a Program Director at Camp Tockwogh. Liz has two daughters that attend camp in the summer, and you can find their cat, Dusty roaming around camp too. She met her husband, Regan in 1995 while working at camp as a Chickasaw Village Chief (and he was Iroquois Village Chief). Liz loves ALL things camp, and can often be found singing along with the campers in their Dining Hall cheers. In her free time, you can find Liz cheering on her daughters from the sidelines of one of their many sports or attending live bluegrass shows.

Marisa has been working in our camp office since 2016. She is from Middletown, DE but has lived on the Eastern Shore of Maryland since 2017 to be closer to camp. Marisa attended University of Delaware for Psychology and has previously worked at the Bear-Glasgow YMCA and Lower Bucks Family YMCA in Pennsylvania. Marisa’s favorite part of camp is that it is accessible to all – she loves working with our partner organizations to offer families scholarships. When she’s not at camp, you can find Marisa checking another national park off of her bucket list, cheering on Philadelphia sports teams, or spending time with her 5-year-old nephew! If you have any questions about your camper’s registration, you’ll likely get to talk to Marisa!
