From Our Team

“I love how camp brings people together. When you have camper’s coming from all over the world who are excited about the same things, it is amazing to watch. As an administrator, it is always great to hear from parents about how their camper truly enjoyed their experience at camp, even those who were nervous about coming. Camp can change lives.”

KASEY SCHOLLENBERGER

“Working at Sea Turtle Camp has been an incredibly fulfilling experience. Seeing campers develop a passion for marine conservation and ocean safety is truly inspiring. My volunteer work at the sea turtle hospital has given me firsthand experience in wildlife rehabilitation, which I love sharing with campers to deepen their understanding of conservation. The supportive staff and hands-on learning make this more than just a job—it’s a chance to help shape the next generation of ocean stewards.”

RHIANNON SAYDLOWSKI

“I love my position in the admin team and how it allows me to share my passion for the ocean and all it offers to new and excited campers.

By introducing campers to surfing, I get to help cultivate their excitement for surfing and marine conservation from their first wave.”

MEAD KRÓWKA

“One of the best parts of working with WB Surf Camp is seeing how camp can totally shift a young person’s perspective. Watching campers fall in love with the ocean, connect with people from all over, and leave with a real sense of responsibility for the environment—that’s the kind of stuff that sticks with them. The experience goes way beyond the day-to-day; it’s about building confidence, creating connection, and inspiring a deeper care for the world around them. That’s what makes this work so meaningful.”
