Meet Our Directors
Camp Wayne has been owned and directed by the Corpuel family since 1952. Now in our third generation, we are extremely proud of the traditions and spirit that thousands of campers and staff have experienced as part of our greater camp family.
Our directors, Steve and Josh, have over 60 years of combined camp experience! I guess you can say that “We LOVE camp.” From pre-camp preparations to day-to-day program
management during the summer we personally ensure that summers at Camp Wayne
provide each and every camper with memories to last a lifetime. Actively participating in the excitement right alongside our campers is the highlight of each summer. In fact, our campers usually start to wonder what bunk we’re in!
Meet Our Leadership Team
Jody Schoenhaut joined the staff at Camp Wayne in 2006 as a group leader and head counselor for our 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders. Jody's two boys, Adam and Harrison, started their camping careers at Wayne in 2002. Jody is a practicing occupational therapist and for the past nine years her focus has been in pediatrics. She's a lifelong camper and her love for children is the reason she continues to be an integral part of the Camp Wayne Family. Her energy and dedication to our youngest campers is second to none!
Chris Burnett has been working at Camp Wayne since 1994. He has worked as a sailing counselor, group leader, special activities director, and in his current capacity as head counselor. He loved camp so much that he switched his focus from business to education, allowing him to be part of the camp experience every summer. When not at camp, Chris lives in Southern California where he has been a fourth and fifth grade teacher for the Los Alamitos School District since 1998. He has a Bachelor's of Business Administration degree from the University of San Diego and a Master's degree in Education from Pepperdine University. Chris enjoys surfing and sailing in the waters off Southern California as well as snowboarding in the local mountains.
Eric Schneider’s life has revolved around Camp Wayne. He has been a camper, counselor, office staff employee, assistant golf director, tennis director, golf director and head counselor. He is as well versed in the Wayne experience as anyone. Eric graduated with an Elementary Education degree from the University of Tampa and has a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Nova Southeastern University. He currently teaches middle school in Deerfield Beach Florida and looks forward to returning to Wayne with his wife and daughter.
Meet Our Staff
As experienced Directors, we recognize that hiring a caring and mature staff is the most essential component to a successful summer. After all, two of the most important reasons campers return to camp year after year are their camp friends and counselors!
Over the years, we have assembled an outstanding group of high school, college and professional coaches to oversee and direct our programs. These directors, who have dedicated their lives to working with children, are assisted by a well-qualified counselor staff. All of our counselors have strong backgrounds in their specialty areas, in addition to a passion for working with children. From Arts & Crafts to the athletic fields, our exceptional staff builds a solid foundation and a respect for each activity.
Our campers are fortunate to share the camp experience with counselors from all over the world, a majority coming from the United States and Canada. Counselors must have completed at least one year of college or university in order to be considered. A limited number of campers, who have participated in our CIT program, can be considered for our Junior Counselor program.
