Our Staff
Wingate*Kirkland has over 75 staff members; approximately half of our staff grew up at W*K as campers, and our counselor return rate from year to year is 75 percent.
Oh, and our “staff” also includes some very special 4-legged friends, too!
Why Our Staff Loves W*K
What Makes Our Staff Extraordinary
“Home-Grown” Staff
This large number of “home-grown” staff plays a key role in maintaining the warmth and spirit of the W*K community. Please feel free to contact any of us with questions, comments, or even just some anecdotes. We’d love to talk with you!

We Lead By Example
The hallmark of a W*K counselor is the enthusiasm, energy and care they bring to the creation of a summer community in which children can thrive.

The staff is top notch! Everyone is always smiling and in good moods from the start of the day and at the end of the day.
