Dear CSL Community:
Fellow Tusc 2009 campers, Ally Roos, and Cameron Robinson,
are both joining the Programming Staff for 2014. Each will serve as Assistant Program Directors in different
areas. Ally will work to support a
variety of pieces, specifically evening programs, the Hobby Program, and Judaic
Programming. Cameron will take on
a new role in the expanding media realm.
Originally from Sharon, Massachusetts, Ally is a second
generation CSLer. She graduated
from Sharon High School in 2012 and matriculated to the University of
Massachusetts (Amherst) as a part of the Commonwealth Honors College. She is pursuing a double degree in
Communication and Political Science.
Growing up at CSL, Ally has worked in Seneca and Arts & Crafts over
the last three summers.
Cameron hails from Pittsford New York and graduated from
Mendon High School in 2012. He
then went on to the Rochester Institute of Technology specifically to pursue
his passions in media design. His
focuses are in film and editing, website and application coding, as well as 3D
modeling and motion graphics. He
is pursuing a career in this field and relishes the opportunity to continue the
growth of this department at CSL.
Cameron will be responsible for the day-to-day integration and execution
of media and video in CSL programs and communication efforts. As someone who grew up at CSL and has
been a counselor in Mohawk the last three years, Cameron’s expertise on camp
will serve particularly well.
With these appointments, the Programming Staff for 2014 is
very close to complete. We are
still looking to hire our full-time videographer.
I spoke to the growth of the Programming staff in a previous
announcement in terms of its necessity and importance from a camp-wide
standpoint. It should be noted
that much of the Programming Staff has worked in counselor and specialist
positions at CSL over the years and the willingness of our Directors to expand
in this realm has allowed us to be able to keep some of our stronger, older
staff who aren’t quite old enough to be Unit Heads. We are thrilled to have Ally and Cameron in Programming but
even more excited to be able and keep them at CSL.
As you can probably tell by now, the overall CSL staff is
beginning to fill out. We are just
about at the half-way point in the year between the two summers. Yet it is interesting to note that for
years and years, much of the CSL staff would be getting hired well into the Spring
and campers would be getting enrolled as well. Times have undoubtedly changed with no camper slots left for
either session and most staff slots filled. And it is not even February.
All The Best,
Ari Baum, Assistant Director &
Program Director
