CAMP STAFF

Molly Bisson joined Cayuga in 1996 as a lifeguard and returned the following 2 summers to assist our administrative staff.  She became a full-time staff member in 1998, and worked in Cayuga’s business office with her husband (who she met at camp).  In 2003 Molly relocated to her home town (Bay Village, Ohio) to raise her new family.  She returned to camp as Assistant Director with her 2 daughters from 2010 to 2018.  She rejoined the full-time staff in 2018 as Co-Director and Staff Director.  Cayuga has been a big part of Molly’s life for 25+ years.  She loves Cayuga, enjoys speaking with everyone (parents, staff, campers), and believes it’s the best investment a parent can make for their child.  In her spare time, she enjoys reading, exercising, and cheering on the Buckeyes (O-H-I-O)!

Steve Beals aka ‘Bealzy’ first joined Cayuga in 1984 as an activity instructor, and has been with Cayuga ever since!  He became a full-time staff member in 1991, and the Director of Teen Campus in 1995.  Bealzy relates well with teenagers, and has the knowledge and experience to understand their interests and needs.  He resides on the camp premises year-round and in the off-season, he maintains the facility and gives personal tours.  Bealzy is originally from upstate Greene, New York.  His wife, Sheryl, is a school teacher and has worked at camp for 20+ years.  They have 4 children (who also attended camp) and are proud grandparents.  His favorite thing to do is spending time with his children and grandchildren.  

Tracie Romansky started her career at Cayuga in Summer 2005 when she joined our team of seasonal office staff.  In the Fall of 2005, Tracie left her accounting career to become a full-time staff member and Cayuga’s Camp Administrator and Office Manager. During the off-season and summermonths, she oversees all areas of administration, including camper registrations, mailings, invoices, bunking, payroll, and so much more.  While these responsibilities can become overwhelming at times, Tracie performs them efficiently and enjoys the  challenge!  She resides in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania with her husband, 2 sons, and her English bulldog.  Her children had attended Cayuga for many years as campers, as well as staff members.  When Tracie has down-time, she enjoys gardening, knitting, and reading.  

Emily Buynak first attended Cayuga as a camper at the young age of 6, and continued her ‘camper years’ for 10 summers.  She was a CIT for 2 summers, and thereafter became a cabin counselor in 2012.  Over the next 4 summers, she specialized in creative arts & pottery, and assisted instructors at various other activities.  Emily first joined Cayuga’s year-round staff in 2018 to lend a helping-hand with staff recruitment and marketing.  Her role evolved over the years and is now the Program Director.  She oversees the free-choice elective program, evening activities, special events, and trips. Emily spent most of her life at Camp Cayuga, and possesses the passion & commitment that ensures our daily program is fun for everyone.  Emily resides in Morristown, New Jersey and attended the University of Alabama.  In her free time, she enjoys cooking, skiing, travelling, and spending time with her family and friends.

Katie Fensterer has recently joined Cayuga’s full-time staff team. Katie’s first summer at Cayuga was in 1993 (back when she was 6 months old). She has had the privilege of enjoying Camp as both a camper & staff member for many years. Katie has worn many hats over the years - from Cabin Counselor and Horseback Instructor to the Elective Program Director. This summer, Katie returns to assist with administrative duties and oversee Cayuga’s healthcare. We’re thrilled to have her back! Katie's dedication & passion for Cayuga shines through in all that she does. Her wealth of experience and knowledge makes her a valuable asset to our team.

Jack Engel is the newest member of Cayuga’s year-round team, although he is no stranger to camp!  From day-one, Jack has been our ‘go-to’ guy.  He started his career at Cayuga in 2019 joining the senior staff as Director of Intercamp Tournaments.  The following two summers, he fulfilled the roles of Athletic Director and Elective Program Director.  In his full-time leadership role, Jack concentrates his efforts on camper recruitment.  He especially enjoys speaking with parents and discussing the benefits of sending their children to camp.  During the summer months Jack is also the Operations Director, who oversees the food service department, maintenance, and transportation.  Jack is originally from Connecticut.  He graduated from Kent State and is a die-hard fan (GO GOLD).  In his spare time, he enjoys watching & attending sporting events with his friends (and his chocolate Labrador, ‘Hank’).

Justin Pritchard started his full-time employment in 2008 when he joined Cayuga’s Maintenance Crew.  Today, he continues to work in this role with his father, Dick.  Justin, being a third-generation staff member, continues to carry-on the ‘Pritchard Pride’ in all he does for Cayuga.  He keeps the camp looking beautiful, and does a great job!  His grandfather, Richard, Cayuga’s first Head Custodian, would certainly be proud – I know we are!  Justin resides in Honesdale, just up the road from Cayuga.  He and his wife have a young daughter, who hopefully will attend as a camper someday, like her dad. Justin’s favorite hobbies are hunting and fishing.

Dick Pritchard joined Cayuga’s year-round maintenance staff in 1976.  At that time, he worked with his dad, Richard, who had been the Head Custodian since 1957.  After Richard retired, Dick became the Head Custodian, and assumed the responsibility of maintaining the camp’s facilities.  Dick has spent his entire adult life working at Cayuga, and the pride in his workmanship is evident everywhere you look!  Dick resides in Honesdale, Pennsylvania and lives only minutes away from camp.  He’s always available 24/7 if we need him!  Dick is a second-generation staff member who has a sense of loyalty and dedication that’s indescribable.  His favorite hobbies include: snowmobiling and hunting.
