Our Year Round Team
Josh Schupack - Executive Director
Josh (he/him) has not missed a summer of being involved with camp since 1999. From beautiful outdoor overnight camp properties like Fuller to Inner City Day camp being run out of the basement of a Middle School, Josh has run camp programs that focus on helping campers and staff become the people they want to be. He believes strongly in the power of Overnight Camp above anything to have a positive impact on everyone involved and has enjoyed every second that he has gotten to be part of some wonderful camp communities.
Josh lives at camp with his dog, Groot. In his “free” time, he is a violin player (dabbles in Guitar and Piano) and enjoys finding other musicians to make music with! Josh is also involved with many YMCA initiatives beyond the YMCA of Greater Providence, being a member of the national steering Committee of the Disability Community Resource Network and a member of the Camp Inclusion Project for YUSA.
