Here’s a little about us…

 

Jackie, Camp Director

Hi I’m Jackie! I am one of 5 children originally from a small beach town just south of Boston. This will be my fourth season at Moonlight Basin after falling in love with Montana last winter! Before finding Moonlight Basin I was lucky enough to be a live-in nanny for a family of 6 children for many many years gaining awesome memorable experience. In my off time, I’m passionate about all things outside—whether it’s hiking, snowboarding, or simply exploring nature. I have also been lucky enough to travel all over the world, which has fueled my love for adventure and new experiences. I graduated with a degree in Nutritional Sciences and love sharing my knowledge of health and wellness with kids. Helping them discover new adventures and connect with the natural world is something I truly enjoy. I’m all about creating fun, active experiences that inspire curiosity and healthy living! I’m excited for another amazing season filled with fun, growth, and connection!

Megan, Camp Supervisor

I have lived in many different places throughout my life. I was born in Hawaii, then moved to Texas, Colorado, Ohio, and Florida. I went back to Hawaii for university where I got my degree in English. After graduating university, I moved to the small town of Talkeetna, Alaska for the summer. The following year I worked a summer season in Yellowstone, where I fell in love with the surrounding area and decided that I wanted to stay for as long as possible, but wasn’t done traveling just yet. In the middle of COVID, I moved to South Korea where I taught English as a second language for two years before deciding that it was time to come back to the States, and moved to Big Sky in the summer of 2023. During the fall season, I went back home to Florida and worked as a volunteer in the wildlife rehabilitation center at Alaqua Animal Refuge before joining Moonlight Basin as the Kid’s Rec Supervisor in December 2023.

When I’m not working, you can find me taking naps in my car in Yellowstone, hiking on nearby trails in the summer, or snowboarding in the winter months.

Alex, Camp Counselor

Hi guys! My name is Alex. This will be my first season at Moonlight Basin, and I am so excited for the adventures that await! I grew up spending my summers in Montana and I am thrilled to be coming back. I have previously been a summer camp counselor as well as a swim instructor, and I just love working with kids! When I am not at school, you can find me outdoors. I love hiking, swimming and camping. I cannot wait to spend the summer underneath the big sky!

Campbell, Camp Counselor

Hey everyone! I’m Campbell and I am from Charlotte, North Carolina. I just graduated from North Carolina State University where I got my bachelor's in marketing and minor in Environmental Science. 

I’ve grown up going out west with my family, enjoying hiking in the summer and skiing in the winter. Big Sky is one of my favorites! I worked at a summer camp for 3 years in the mountains of NC where I found a passion for working with kids and doing all things outdoors. I also enjoy exercising, reading, travelling, cooking, and spending time in the sun! This is my first year at Moonlight Basin, and I am looking forward to a fun summer!

Ted, Camp Counselor

Having grown up in Vail, CO and of Swedish descent, the mountains are in my blood. I've skied since I was 2 and love doing most things outdoors, except mountain climbing. My favorite activities are skiing, rafting, live music, camping, backpacking, and mountain biking. You'll most likely find me on the Gallatin River on summer afternoons. 

 I came to Montana State University for my bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering and fell in love with Montana. Every time I travel to new places in the US and around the world, I'm happier to call this place home. I've taught children's ski school for 15 years and thoroughly enjoy educating, mentoring, and inspiring the next generation. Throughout this process, I've been able to maintain these mentoring relationships' with local children and vacationing families that I've taught for 7-10 years. I look forward to sharing this passion with the children at Camp Moonlight. 

Althea, Camp Counselor

Hi! I’m Althea! I’m originally from Nebraska and graduated from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln with a degree in Elementary Education. This past year, I’ve been teaching in The Bronx in New York City. While I’ve loved being a city girl, I definitely missed the mountains. I worked at Moonlight Basin in summer 2024, and I’m excited to be returning this summer! I love being outside whenever I can. I enjoy running, hiking, skiing, climbing, and honestly just trying anything new. When I’m not on the move, I enjoy thrifting, creating collage art, and going to live music events. I’m looking forward to a fun summer!

Claire, Camp Counselor

Hi everyone! My name is Claire and I am originally from St. Louis, Missouri. Currently, I am an undergraduate studying English on the pre-law track at the University of Colorado Boulder where I first fell in love with the outdoors! However, my first love is working with children. I started at a summer camp, then worked as a gymnastics coach, nanny, and finally worked for a babysitting company back home. This summer, I am thrilled to explore Big Sky and connect with all of the families and kids. I can’t wait to facilitate adventure, fun, and lifelong memories in one of the most beautiful places in the country! 

Mabel, Camp Counselor

Mabel hails from the rainy Pacific Northwest where she has been working with kids outside for the past decade. She holds a degree in outdoor education from Western Washington University where she graduated in 2021. This past winter, Mabel decided to move to Big Sky to join the Mountain Sports team. She knew she had to see Montana’s beautiful landscapes in the summer and decided to stick around. In her free time, you can find her running, biking, climbing, swimming, and nerding out about plants.

Ty, Camp Counselor

Hey guys! My name is Ty! I am originally from Louisiana but decided to start traveling around 4 years ago. In the search of new experiences and new places, I found Moonlight Basin and fell in love. This is my second season at Moonlight Basin. Joining for another year was a must for me this summer after having such a great time last year. My whole life I have always been drawn to fitness and the outdoors. Over the last 4 years I coached kids fitness where my love for working with children started. I love being a role model for the younger generation and helping kids build confidence and bravery. 

I am more than excited to come back to Big Sky and can’t wait to meet new families and catch up with returning families!
