Natalie B.Natalie B., Teen Camp Division Head

When it comes to bringing energy, laughter and unforgettable memories to camp, that describes me, Natalie B., Buckley’s Teen Division Head.

I have been working with children for over twenty years. I have been involved in early childhood education administration for three years, running summer programs and after school programs. Whether we are participating in activities on campus or piling onto the bus, heading out for a day of off-campus adventure, I am ready to stretch comfort zones, build friendships and create moments that campers will talk about for years to come. Being a part of teen camp, I also have the privilege of working with the CITS. CITS are the future heartbeat of any great camp and providing them with meaningful, hands-on experiences is key to helping them grow into confident capable leaders. I’m all about making camp a place where every camper feels seen, supported and ready to have their BEST. SUMMER. EVER.

Lots of Choice… Lots of Fun!
