North Shore Day Camp Staff Bios

NSDC staff members are hired through a highly selective interview process. They are primarily chosen for their dedication to working with children. Our staff is compassionate, enthusiastic, good listeners, patient, nurturing, and trustworthy. We seek people who are team players with leadership skills, easy-going, and know how to make camp fun. The entire staff participates in a week-long extensive training and teambuilding orientation program. Our team is comprised of college and high school students, child-care professionals, and educators.

NSDC takes pride in our outstanding camper/staff ratio of 6:1. This allows our staff to address each individual campers needs as well as provides leadership to the entire group.

Assistant Director, Valerie Ravenna
Valerie comes to NSDC for her fourth summer. In her first two summers, Val served as our Office Manager and this summer will be a part of our Leadership Team as Assistant Director. Currently working on her Doctorate of Pharmacy, Val is super excited for camp and can't wait to be outside and able to "hang" with the campers. Val embodies the NSDC spirit with her amazing personality and zest for life. Go NSDC!!!
