Camper Podcast! - Interview with Gabe!

Director Gabe Shares What Makes Camp Special

Have you ever wondered what it really takes to run a summer camp? Or what a camp director looks forward to the most each summer? In this delightful and fast-paced episode, our camper hosts sit down with Birch Trail’s owner and director, Gabe, for a hard-hitting, fun-filled interview that covers everything from camp history to favorite foods.

Gabe pulls back the curtain on why he chose this path, what makes Birch Trail such an empowering space for girls, and why the best camp days are a mix of a little bit of craziness and a whole lot of awesome.

Join us as we explore:

• The heart behind the leadership: Why Gabe chose to become a director and his passion for helping girls learn, grow, and build lifelong friendships.
• What a director looks forward to most: Why seeing campers challenge themselves, try new things, and get super-duper messy is the ultimate reward.
• Camp traditions and mysteries: A look into classic evening programs like Biffer and council fires, plus Gabe’s diplomatic response to the legendary cabin story of Irma.
• Fun facts and history: Discover what Birch Trail was before it became a camp, Gabe's actual favorite camp foods (the salad bar debate is real!), and which furry camp companion looks suspiciously like a famous mascot.

Tune in for a lighthearted, insightful conversation that shows exactly why the leadership at Birch Trail is so dedicated to creating an unforgettable experience for your daughter!
