Staff Profiles

From Left to Right: Top-O, Tucker, Scotia, Dodger

Tucker

Tucker has spent 10 fantastic summers at Otterdale – 6 as a camper and 4 on staff. Throughout his time at camp he has progressed from a quiet, introverted boy into a confident and vocal young man. His comedic personality is a hit at campfire, where he has been known to strum a few chords on the guitar. Tucker’s favourite camp activities include canoeing, arts and crafts, and waterskiing. He is originally from Toronto, but now lives in Ottawa studying economics at Carleton University.

Dodger

Dodger has been involved in Ontario summer camps for thirteen years. He was a camper at Camp Kawabi (along with many of his siblings) and is now in his 6th summer as an Otterdale counsellor and member of the Otterdale Leadership Team. He is studying Kinesiology at the University of Waterloo, and has spent time over the last year travelling and camping through Western Canada and parts of the Southern United States. This summer, you can find Dodger in his surf booties eagerly teaching windsurfing and canoeing.

Scotia

Scotia is an enthusiastic member of the Otterdale community and has been involved in camping for 16 years! Over the past 2 summers she has thrived in her position as the Waterfront Director and senior counsellor. Scotia has a natural ability to lead and communicate effectively; attributes that have made her career as a counsellor a great success. She is back again at Otterdale for her 6th summer and can’t wait to hang out with new and returning campers. This September she will be attending George Brown College for the Child and Youth Care Worker program.
