Head Counsellor

Erica Marion

Hi, I’m Erica, and I’m so excited to be back for my third year on staff! I’m the Head Counselor, which means I get to help make camp feel like home. I love cabin cleanup (yes, really!), winding down at bedtime, meeting new faces, and reconnecting with old ones. But my favorite part of all? Final Campfire—it’s the best way to end the week.

Maxine Frank

Hi everyone! I’m Maxine, and I’ve been coming to Sparrow Lake Camp for the past eight summers as a camper and a staff member. Camp has been my favourite place to spend my summers because I love meeting new people and spending nights by the campfire. I like to read and find new music to listen to, which always gives me a way to bond with my campers. Can't wait for summer 2025!
