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.

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.
