STAFF

The Beam Staff are the teachers, builders and mentors who work and play alongside campers providing a safe and enriching camp experience. The Senior and Instructional Staff are people over the age of 20 who make a life and living from pursuits involving invention, design, planning and production: artists, architects, engineers, craftspeople, teachers, designers, chefs, scientists and musicians.

SENIOR STAFF
Camp Director Cassie Broadus-Foote, a 12-year Beam veteran, leads a senior staff comprised of former Beam counselors who have added management and planning duties to their own creative toolboxes.

INSTRUCTIONAL STAFF
Professional artists, makers, and craftspeople whose time at camp is primarily dedicated to leading Fundamentals, Domains, and guiding camper’s Independent Work.

COUNSELORS
Two Bunk Counselors live in each camper cabin. In addition to helping the campers to build a unique cabin culture and camaraderie, the Bunk Guides act as instructors and assistants throughout the Beam program.
