Meet the Staff
Director's Message
Sarah has been with us for a few years now, bringing a fresh perspective and a laugh that you can pretty much hear anywhere in the community centre. Over her career, Sarah has demonstrated a commitment to community development and recreation, working her way up through various roles to become an Executive Director.
Her passion lies in developing strong partnerships and relationships to foster a positive environment here at GNAG and within the Glebe Community. Sarah is not only dedicated to her work but also values the strong circle of family and friends she surrounds herself with daily. Additionally, if you need a recipe for any baked good, she probably has one to share.Staff and Counsellors
Our staff are passionate and committed to making every child’s summer magical. Many of our staff and participants were once children in our camps which gives them a unique perspective.
Our management team has 142 years of experience in recreational programming, and we mentor our staff by providing opportunities for growth. Our experienced managers don’t just sit in an office, they are hands-on.
Our staff Ratios are 1:8 for JK – Gr 2 and 1:10 for Gr 3+.
Our staff all have First Aid CPRC, AODA, Police Record Checks, Emergency Procedures Training, in addition to our recreational training and their years of hands-on experience.
Most of our summer camp staff are returning but we are always keen to hire new people with fresh ideas and skills. -
