CAMPYBARA'S STAFF

Campybara's Staff has more than 40 years of combined experience of working with children in the classroom and outdoors, as well as managing summer camps. We are committed to maintain a high staff-to-camper ratio of at least 1:5. Beyond the staff listed below we also hire rotating staff based on enrollment.

Erika Singer

Erika lives for those quiet moments of connection in the wild and loves passing on that passion to others. After 20 years of working in a summer camp she is happy to share her knowledge and experience with new and experienced campers. She holds a BA from Lewis and Clark and her favorite thing to do in the summer is ID new plants (especially edible ones) and find new trails. Erika has been certified in Wilderness First Aid (WFA).

Yaniv Singer

Yaniv has 20 years of experience working in outdoor education, including roles as a counselor, backpacking trip leader, and in program development. After serving in the IDF, Yaniv received a B.Sc. in Astrophysics from Columbia University. In the off-season, he teaches high school math and physics in Israel. At camp, he loves sharing his love of natural sciences, art, music, and cooking. Yaniv has been certified in Widerness First Aid (WFA) as well as Lifeguarding with CPR/AED.

Chris Sylvain

Chris is a retired nurse. Aside from obviously filling the role of "camp nurse", she also enjoys being out in nature with our campers, teaching them to do head-stands, and move efficiently through the kitchen and any task they might face in camp and indeed in life.

Karen Goldfarb

Karen is a retired montessori teacher and is also Erika's mother. She brings with her a love for birds and flowers, and spends time teaching campers how to identify different species of critters from her multiple nature-identifier books. Aside from that, Karen often operates as our camp grandmother, helping campers navigate camp tasks during their first week away from home.
