☀️ Meet Our Summer Camp Staff! ☀️

Last up is Ainsleigh Dion, a familiar face to many of our campers and families!

🌟 Meet Ainsleigh Dion! 🌟

Ainsleigh’s connection to Jaffrey Parks & Recreation goes back several years. She first attended camp as a camper in 2021 and has spent the past two summers volunteering with the program. This year, she’ll be taking on an even bigger role as both a camp staff member and a Beach Attendant.

Having experienced camp from both a camper’s and volunteer’s perspective, Ainsleigh knows just how special camp memories can be. She’s excited to help create those same experiences for this year’s campers.

When it comes to camp games, Four Square is her favorite. Whether she’s jumping into a game with campers or cheering them on from the sidelines, she’s always ready to join in the fun.

A fun fact about Ainsleigh is that she has been playing soccer for 10 years. The teamwork, dedication, and sportsmanship she’s learned through the sport are qualities she brings with her to camp every day.

What Ainsleigh is looking forward to most this summer is spending time with the campers, getting to know them, and helping make their camp experience one they’ll remember for years to come.

Be sure to say hello to Ainsleigh this summer, we’re excited to have her continue growing with the Jaffrey Parks & Recreation team!

This will be Eden’s first year at camp, and she is excited to jump right into all the fun. From group games to daily activities, Eden is looking forward to spending the summer playing, laughing, and making memories with our campers.

Outside of camp, Eden is currently in school studying to become a physical therapist. Her interest in helping others, staying active, and working toward a career focused on care and movement makes her a wonderful addition to our camp staff.

Eden can’t wait to have a great summer with the campers and be part of all the excitement, energy, and fun that camp brings each day.

We’re so happy to have Eden joining us this summer!

☀️ Meet Our Summer Camp Staff! ☀️

Say hello to Jaylani McDaniel, one of our Summer Camp Counselors for 2026!

🌟 Meet Counselor Jaylani McDaniel! 🌟

If there's one thing Jaylani is excited about this summer, it's building connections with campers and helping make camp a place where everyone feels welcome, included, and ready to have fun. Her goal is to be the kind of counselor that campers feel comfortable talking to, laughing with, and creating great memories alongside all summer long.

Although this is Jaylani's second summer with Jaffrey Parks & Recreation, many families may already recognize her from our youth programs. In addition to volunteering at camp last summer, Jaylani has also volunteered as a coach for youth soccer and youth basketball. Her enthusiasm for working with kids and helping them succeed makes her a great fit for our camp team.

One of Jaylani's favorite camp games is Drip Drip Drop, a classic camp activity that's always guaranteed to get campers moving and smiling.

Outside of camp, Jaylani trains in Jiu-Jitsu and is currently preparing for her next competition. The dedication, discipline, and perseverance she brings to her training are qualities that help her shine as a counselor as well.

Jaylani can't wait to spend the summer having fun with campers, making new memories, and helping create an unforgettable camp experience for everyone involved.

Be sure to give Jaylani a warm welcome when you see her at camp this summer!

Over the past two summers, he has become a familiar face around camp, bringing enthusiasm, kindness, and a great sense of fun to every activity. We're excited to see him continue making a positive impact on our campers this summer.

When asked about his favorite part of camp, Izaiah shared that he enjoys simply spending time with the campers, having fun, and being part of all the exciting activities throughout the summer. Building relationships and creating a positive experience for campers is what he enjoys most.

Outside of camp, Izaiah loves playing soccer and staying active. His love of sports and teamwork helps bring great energy to camp each day.

Braeden has been involved with the Jaffrey Parks & Recreation Department for several years, helping not only with Summer Camp, but also volunteering his time coaching youth soccer and assisting with youth basketball programs. His dedication to working with children and giving back to the community makes him a valuable part of our team.

When asked about his favorite camp game, Braeden chose 4 Square. Whether he's playing with campers or helping organize activities, he's always ready to jump in and make sure everyone is having a great time.

Outside of camp, Braeden is a recent graduate of Conant High School and has some exciting plans ahead. He has committed to play golf at Keene State College, where he will also be studying Recreational Management. His passion for recreation, sports, and working with others makes camp a perfect fit for him.

This summer, Braeden is especially looking forward to all of our weekly camp themes and the creativity, activities, and excitement that each new week brings.
