Jennifer Houle, Day Camp Director
This will be my sixth summer at Camp Eastside and I look forward to the fun that each new summer brings! As summer 2013 approaches I look back on the past 5 summers and see how much we have grown and all of the fun memories we have created. I love seeing our campers return each year full of excitement and energy for the fun ahead! They look forward to their favorite camp traditions like getting their photo on our archery wall of bullseyes, gaga games, sponge volleyball and Jar Wars!!
I enjoy spending each of my camp days ensuring your kids are safe, having fun enjoying new experiences, and making friends. With our fantastic team of counselors, I feel confident your camper will thrive this summer and enjoy their camp experience as much as I do! |

Michael Cardinali, Day Camp Assistant Director & LIT/CIT Coordinator
I currently teach Social Studies at Palmyra Macedon High School and while most educators look forward to the summer to relax, I look forward to it as the start of the Camp season! I believe Camp should be a truly inclusive atmosphere where children of all interests and abilities feel included and help to create a welcoming community. I also coordinate the LIT/CIT Program and feel passionately about helping teens develop into leaders, not just at Camp Eastside, but in every aspect of their life. In the program I utilize a constructivist approach to developing leadership skills and important qualities found among our finest counselors. This means teens work together to discover and build on concepts like taking initiative, inclusion, and decision making. |

Patrick Dugan, Sports Camp Director
I’m looking forward to another great year of camp here at the Eastside Family YMCA! My staff team and I are committed to making your sports campers experience the best it can possibly be and to make sure that they grow both athletically and socially. We believe in a games approach to teaching sports and we teach our campers the importance of positive competition, fair play, and sportsmanship. While other sports themed camps in the area may focus on highly skilled campers in serious competition, we focus on the fundamentals and are committed to the enjoyment of each and every camper. We can’t wait for another amazing summer of sports camp and all the fun, friendship, and memories that it is sure to bring!
