Day Camp Staff
The Monomoy Day Camp is a co-educational day camp with a dedicated and talented staff. Nancy W Garran, CCSC’s Executive Director, is actively involved in the administration of the Monomoy Day Camp. Nancy has worked as a director at CCSC since 1979 and is an American Camping Association Certified Camping Professional with a BS from Skidmore College. Rick “Otis” Moyer, M.Ed.
