“Each year, we get to watch these children make outstanding gains in their progress within just a few short weeks. I firmly believe that would not be possible without first creating a warm and nurturing environment in which each camper feels valued and cherished.”
- Maureen Giglio
Maureen manages Camp Acorn every year, which includes handling all the logistics for the camp, navigating carpool and planning the adventures campers get to experience, among other duties. The most exciting part of camp that she organizes is “Fun Friday,” with every Friday this year featuring events ranging from a FOAMtastic party, a petting zoo, bounce houses and many more exhilarating activities.
What makes Camp Acorn truly unique is the wonderful staff and volunteers she puts together, who help nurture each camper and ensure that they truly get something tangible out of each day here.
“The staff and volunteers are the most important people on our campus during summer camp,” Maureen said. “They are creating a nurturing and fun environment, individualizing goals and supports for each camper daily, while ultimately helping our campers thrive.” Camp Acorn strives to create an environment for campers to have fun, develop and foster lifelong friendships while continuing to grow and thrive. Maureen hopes that each camper is able to immerse themselves in this environment and feel the community and outpouring of love every day they’re at camp. “Each year, we get to watch these children make outstanding gains in their progress within just a few short weeks,” Maureen said. "I firmly believe that would not be possible without first creating a warm and nurturing environment in which each camper feels valued and cherished.”
