Hi, I’m Nadiya, Skyline’s Director of Food Service! I have one of the best jobs at camp — I grow our garden and turn harvest into delicious meals for everyone to enjoy. Using my background and a big love for creativity and nature, I believe every meal can start a smile, bring people together around the table, and grow a little more community.

Chief is Camp’s hairiest staff member. He made his arrival to Skyline in 2015, and joins us at camp now and then. He enjoys taking walks to the pond, cooling off in the pool, finding some good snacks to eat around the K & D and alerting staff when visitors arrive. He even has his own line of merchandise in the camp store! Be sure to stop and say hello when you see him around.
2025 Summer Staff
Skyline’s summer staff are selected with care and trained thoroughly. All staff undergo a series of background checks, and many are trained in American Red Cross First Aid and CPR/AED. Our lifeguards are over 18 and certified by the American Red Cross. About one-third of our summer staff are from overseas, bringing some different accents and insights for our campers to experience!
