Sandi joined the camp at the perfect time last fall.  Her experience in organizing and managing the operational details of the camp made her the ideal candidate to be promoted to the position of Interim Camp Director.  Sandi is from Scottsdale, AZ where she was employed as an Itinerant Teacher for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in the Phoenix Metro Public School Districts. Sandi’s preparatory work was at the University of Minnesota where she obtained a B.A. Degree in Deaf Education/Deaf Studies. Sandi’s additional studies include an American Sign Language Studies Certificate, with an emphasis in Sign Language Interpreting, from the St. Paul Technical College in Minnesota. While living in Minnesota, Sandi was very involved in many social gatherings and sports activities in support of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community and culture. Sandi brings an amazing energy and enthusiasm to Aspen Camp and we are excited to have her lead our team.

Erin Slone - Program Director

Erin has a true passion for teaching children and being in the outdoors. She loves water sports and gardening in her free time. Although she is so professionally driven, we don’t know when she has time to enjoy those hobbies. She is devoted to getting her Master in Special Education Deaf and Hard of Hearing while working full time at BOCES as the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Teacher serving children from Aspen to Glenwood Springs. Besides being a lifetime camper moving up through the ranks to Assistant Director at Camp Wesley Woods, Erin has a Bachelor in Deaf Studies, a Minor in American Sign Language, and is a Certified Educational Interpreter. We are fortunate to have Erin as part of the team!
