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.
