A note from the directors
Greetings from Rich & Stef
To Our Camp Lenox Staff Of 2026,
Camp is almost here, and we could not be more excited to welcome you to Camp Lenox! Orientation is right around the corner, and we cannot wait to meet everyone, reconnect with returning staff, and start building what we know will be an unforgettable summer.
Pre‑camp is already in full swing, and the energy around camp is growing every day. The fields are coming back to life, the lake is getting ready, and our team has been working hard to prepare every corner of camp for the season ahead.
Most importantly, we are so excited for the incredible staff community coming together this summer. Your energy, care, leadership, and camp spirit are what make Camp Lenox feel like home.
Keeping the torch burning,
Rich & Stef
