Who Are The Staff Members?
The staff members are chosen for their maturity, desire to work with children in a close knit community that values the implicit worth of each person and the skills that contribute to the needs of a summer camp.  Counselors are 18 years or older and will have completed at least one year of college or something equivalent.  Each year several counselors return from the previous summer and usually there are one or two international counselors.  The staff includes four or more "helpers" who are young people between ages 16 and 18 who assist with meal preparation and cleanup, laundry, gardening and maintenance.  There is a camper to staff ratio of 3 to 1.
 
Our Director
Amanda Edwards is a lifetime believer in the camp experience.  As a girl, her favorite part of the summer was going to camp.  While attending Cornell College, where she earned a B.A. in Elementary Education and Environmental Studies, she spent her summers working at several camps as a counselor, nature specialist, program director, and lifeguard.  After college Amanda taught for six years and directed Camp Conestoga Girl Scout camp for four years.  Amanda’s most recent experience is at Scattergood Friends School, West Branch, Iowa as Academic Coordinator.  Amanda is excited to be at Camp Woodbrooke because she values the multitude of opportunities camp provides people, young and old, to interact in an authentic way with each other and nature.  Amanda enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, being outdoors, canoeing, reading, and learning new things.  She and her husband, David, love being Mom and Dad to their daughter, Maren.  They live in Iowa with their dog, Haley.
