Kelsey Seiferth, Intermediate Camp Division Head

My name is Kelsey Seiferth and I am the Intermediate Camp Division Head. Buckley Day Camp has been my home away from home forever. This is my 25th summer at Buckley Day Camp and I am so excited to be back again as a division head!

Summer 2024 is going to be the most incredible summer because we have the most outstanding and dedicated staff. We have a variety of new workshops and special events planned for the summer. Buckley is a place to make memories, laugh, and create friendships that will last forever. I am counting the days until I am back at my summer home again with all of you!
