  • Kristin McMaster

    Camp Director

    Kristin “Breezy” McMaster got into special needs camping while attending college in Baltimore, on the eventual quest for medical school. She took a gap year after college, accepting a year round camp job in California at YMCA Camp Marston, and continued spending her summers working at camps with kids on the autism spectrum and kids with medical needs in the Philly area. The gap year became a gap decade, and while she still has no idea what she wants to do with the rest of her life, her time as a director at Camp Tall Tree and Dragonfly Forest has made one thing clear: She is certain that she wants to fill it with people and projects that create fun spaces and cultivate love for all kinds of kids, especially those who think and experience the world differently.
