Rob-Division Head

Shalom! I’m Rob and this will be my 23rd summer at Surprise Lake Camp, my 21st as a staff member. During the offseason, I am a public school elementary science teacher in the South Bronx. I had no idea how much camp was going to profoundly change my life when I first arrived as a 14 year old camper. My confidence immediately soared as I made friends and memories that will last forever. Years later, I still consider my camp friends to be my best friends. As a group counselor, unit supervisor, and Head Counselor, I’ve had the pleasure of working with many talented staff members who have been tremendously successful in helping campers become the best versions of themselves. Surprise Lake Camp has done incredible wonders for me as a teenager and young adult, and I am beyond thrilled to continue this work in giving back to our campers as camp has done for me.
