Tamara Silva, Stonybrook's new Upper Camp Girls Director, has spent most of her summers at camp. Starting as a camper, she worked her way through the camp ranks with many positions, including junior counselor, group leader and arts n' crafts specialist. Her experience includes both day and sleep away camps, and she immediately felt at home when she joined Stonybrook's camp family last summer. For Stonybrook, Tamara quickly became a strong asset as she added creativity and excitement to the arts n' crafts program and became a go to leader for all things camp! Tamara has two sons, Zach and Drew, who got their first taste of camp last summer and are completely hooked as they eagerly await Summer 2011.
Tamara is a school social worker in the North Caldwell public school system where she works with children who have special needs. She also provides counseling and develops programming within the school. Tamara is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She earned her Master’s Degree in Social Work from Columbia University and her undergraduate degree in psychology from Boston University. Throughout her career, she has enjoyed working with children in a variety of settings.
Tamara is thrilled to join the leadership team and looks forward to meeting all the upper camp girls. She is committed to helping each one of them have a wonderful summer filled with friendships, fun and new adventures!
Congrats to Tamara on her new position- we are all thrilled!
