Our Staff
Bruce Campbell, Camp Director
I am a National Board Certified Teacher who has been teaching high school English in Upper Arlington for 22 years. I hold a B.S. from Miami University with a minor in Coaching. I have also earned a M.A. in Educational Administration from The Ohio State University. In addition to my teaching experience, I also coached professionally for 22 seasons, with experiences ranging from 7th grade to the varsity level: basketball (15 years), golf (4 years), and track & field (4 years). Currently, I enjoy cheering on my daughters as they compete in various activities. As a longtime educator, father of three beautiful girls, and a member of the Worthington community, my goal is to provide a camp experience where every single child has the same opportunity to excel, learn, and grow that I would want for my own children.
