Meet our Lead Nurse, Nicole! 💉🏕️

Nicole has been part of Camp Jack for 5 years, helping ensure every camper’s health and safety while they enjoy all that camp has to offer.

Meet our Camp Director, Cristian!☀️🏕️

Cristian’s journey at Camp Jack started 5 years ago as a camp counselor. From there, he grew into a Program Coordinator role—and now leads Camp Jack as the Director. His experience in each position gives him a deep understanding of what makes camp so special for children living with Type 1 diabetes.

Today, Cristian oversees daily operations, supports staff, and helps create a fun, inclusive, and safe environment where every camper can thrive. You’ll still find him jumping into activities like Water Polo and bringing new ideas to life!
