Dreamteam
Summer 2026
Meet our incredible team—where experience meets a touch of chaos! Michelle has been in the game for 25 years, with 18 of those at Community Living Dufferin. Antje? Oh, she's a seasoned pro with 30 years under her belt, including Giant Steps Toronto and Kerry’s Place, plus 25 years of camp adventures—we come packed with certifications, including First Aid, CPR and a PhD in Keeping Calm Under Pressure (okay, maybe not a PhD). Our training includes everything from sexual abuse awareness to crisis prevention, and yes, we even know how to handle food. We're excited to have Brooke and Paige back for their third year. Brooke's off to conquer social work, Paige is on the path to becoming a teacher, and Katie has climbed the ranks from volunteer to lead counsellor. she is busy supporting participants at Pathways. And let’s not forget our new guy, Harshil, a second-year nursing student. On a personal note, Antje is the proud mom of four boys (including twins!) while Michelle is juggling five—because who needs sleep? That’s our ultimate "certification!"

I’m so excited about camp and getting to know all the campers. I am currently in school to be a teacher at Brock and I hope to learn a lot this summer!
