Meet the 2023 DLs

We are incredibly excited to introduce the 2023 Division Leaders— 16 Scaticonians who combined have spent 150+ summers at Scatico! Division Leaders serve as a “head counselor” for each group in camp. They live in cabins with their campers, travel to virtually all of their activities with them, plus oversee the other counselors in the group.

Get to know this year’s team below!
