Camp Staff
Horace Rooney, Camp Director, has been with Allens Lane for almost ten years. He is also an English teacher at Simon Gratz High School, and he has many years experience at summer and after school programs. His love of children and sense of humor help make the camp a success.
Counselors - All campers are grouped by age, with a leadership team of three counselors per group (ratio = 1 counselor per 5 campers). All camp staff are selected for their maturity, responsibility, experience and sensitive understanding of children. Art, ceramics, dance and drama are taught by professionals. Many teach classes at Allens Lane Art Center throughout the year. Red Cross certified instructors supervise swimming activities. Each year, two-thirds of our camp staff returns and many of our matriculated campers return to become camp staff.
