Juli graduated summa cum laude from Worcester State College in Worcester, MA where she studied Psychology and Education concentrating on child and adolescent development. She has worked with youth from preschoolers through young adults. In addition to overseeing all camp operations, Juli handles the “motherly” side of camp: homesickness, mild to moderate injuries and attempts to assist with money management on the outings. (“But why can’t I have this $138 autographed baseball? You can loan me the money—my Mom will pay you back.”) She also tells great stories and terrible jokes.
