OUR TEAM
Camp Pathfinder’s staff are more than counselors—they are mentors, role models, and caretakers who live alongside campers, sharing every aspect of the Pathfinder experience. With a remarkable 1:2 staff-to-camper ratio, they provide individual attention, encouragement, and expert instruction in camp activities and wilderness canoe trips. Most have grown up at Pathfinder, coming through the ranks as campers and apprentices, carrying forward the traditions and values that define the camp—teamwork, service, respect for nature, and personal growth.
These young men and women embody the spirit of Pathfinder, blending challenge with encouragement, tradition with leadership, and skill with empathy. Whether guiding campers through their first paddle stroke or a multi-week canoe expedition, Pathfinder staff ensure every camper experiences the thrill of achievement, the bonds of fraternity, and the lifelong impact of a summer in Algonquin Park.

Will Hopkins
Owner & Director
Will started as a Pathfinder camper in 1987, served as a staff member, headman, and senior staff in the 1990's and 2000's. He worked in education leadership for 25 years while remaining active in the Pathfinder alumni community. Prior to returning to camp, Will was the Associate Head of School at Friends Seminary in NYC. Will & his wife Diane celebrated their first season as owners of Pathfinder in 2024.
Will & Diane met on Source Lake. They married at Pathfinder in 2010. During the off-season, they live in Maplewood, NJ with their 3 daughters. They also enjoy visiting Diane's family cottage on Source Lake,
