We are especially proud of our devoted, highly trained staff for their positive influence on the many youth who visit our campus. The relatively small size of our camp enables us to create a close-knit community through staff interaction with campers/students. All Mountain Campus staff must complete a rigorous 2 week training and certification program. Our staff is handpicked from a pool of qualified individuals based on their experience working with youth, outdoor education/adventure skills, personal background, in-depth personal interviews and pertinent certifications.
Morgan & Jon Tebeau – Mountain Campus Co-Directors
Morgan has a diverse professional background as a facilitator and administrator of youth development through experiential education and outdoor adventure. As the director of the Mountain Campus, Morgan specializes in delivering group experiences packed with energy, excitement, and education.
Jon is a Michigan native who has varied experience in the outdoor education field. Jon has completely immersed himself in the Mountain Campus experience for the past two years; finding his niche among the bears and squirrels of the Shenandoah Valley.
