Joel Egbert, Summer Camps and Outreach Director, Keystone Science School

Joel was a flatlander in Cincinnati, Ohio before moving to the high country. He now lives with his wife Jess, dog Oro and 6 other pets at 10,200 feet in nearby Leadville. Joel studied mass communication and motivational speaking at Wright State University and paramedic science at Columbus State. He has been working in the camps industry for almost 9 years.

Joel has worked the full spectrum of camps. He has led programs for at-risk and underprivileged youth, specialty camps that included campers with diabetes, arthritis, and terminal cancer, outdoor education school groups, and corporate adults. “Keystone Science School has a special purpose, campers have an amazing magic, and Colorado is an incredible adventure. I have the opportunity to bring the three together – I can’t wait.” Joel’s interests are pirates, zombies, sharks, and of course camp.
