According to its mission statement, Camp Deeny Riback is a place where campers 3 years old (and fully potty trained) through 10th grade are nurtured and guided by role models and peers during a summer of exploration and growth, and campers are exposed to skills they will need to grow and succeed in today’s world alongside the opportunity to express themselves as children in a safe environment.
The leadership team includes Dana Gottfried, Director of Camp Deeny Riback; Shari Weinerman, Enrollment Director; Jay Faigenbaum, Assistant Director for communication, programming, camper health, and Junior Village; and Sara Simon, Operations Director for financial services, transportation, and aquatics programs.
