Perry has been Saint Sophia Camp's Director for over 20 seasons. However, he wasn't always the Director- in fact he has served in 4 other positions and challenges many campers to guess them all!
 

"My favorite thing in all my many years at camp is getting to spend time with all the amazing campers, fantastic counselors and hard working staff members at the greatest Greek Orthodox Camp in the world!"

Camp is blessed to have Fr. Gary. As a long time camper, counselor, staff member and now a father who has sent his children to camp he has a true understanding about what Saint Sophia Camp is all about. When he's not leading service or running Orthodox Life you can find Fr. Gary belting out "Leaving on a Jet Plane" at Campfire, leading impromptu sing a longs in the Mess Hall or challenging campers to push up challenges.

"Of all my camp memories my favorite is meeting the love of my life, Christie (Platis) Kyriacou on July 27, 1992:"

Sarah has over a decade of experience on Staff and has served in three positions, including Arts and Crafts Director and Girls Director. Camp is where she met her husband Billy Ballas and the couple had their rings blessed at Camp in 2017. Sarah's favorite day of camp is Tuesday because there's tie-dye, super relay and a themed dance!

​

"Camp is my favorite two weeks out of the year! I love spending time with my camp family and making new memories every summer. My favorite thing about camp is watching campers as they grow up and create lifelong friendships and seeing them give back as counselors"

Before joining Staff as a Dimitri was camper and counselor who's Weekend Update sketch was a hilarious staple of the Camp Skit Night.  Dimitri is a former Night Director so in the evening you may still find him by the campfire with Yianni but, by day you will find him running Olympics, emceeing Camp Family Feud, or refereeing the 3-on-3 Basketball tournament.

​

"My favorite camp activity has been making the movie previews with Yianni for our Camp Movie Nights each year. They're so fun to brainstorm, film, and share with the campers"

As Girls Director, Rebecca helps plan flawless camping programming and most importantly ensures that everyone feels like they’re at a home away from home when at camp. Rebecca is always ready to bring excitement and joy to every camp activity.

​

"My favorite camp activities are the KAMP Radio Morning Shows! They are the best way to start every day of camp."

Mary has been a part of Saint Sophia Camp for over 2 decades! She was a long time camper, counselor, Arts and Crafts Director, Girls Director and Assistant Director, The creator of the virtual sensation: Make It with Mary. This year Mary has transitioned to the role of Director of the Culinary Arts. Her favorite part of camp is playing Hide and Go Seek but if you ever need to find her it's best to check the kitchen, where she is likely whipping up delicious meals and tasty treats for the whole camp.

​

Saint Sophia Camp’s reigning Belly Flop champion returns as one of our Arts and Craft Directors. The position is fitting given that her favorite Camp activity is Charades because of how it brings out everyone’s enthusiasm and creative side!

“My favorite part about camp is how it is multigenerational! It connects parents, siblings, cousins, and friends in the same traditions and fun.”

"My favorite camp memory is my very first year at camp, I was nervous until the first campfire. I had so much fun and when we all sang Kumbaya and Rebecca and I stayed up late laughing in the cabin, I knew I had found my place"

Longtime camper and counselor, Harrison returns to Staff this year as a Lifeguard. If he is not pool side or helping run Olympics you can find Harrison in a shady spot reading a great book!    

"My favorite camp activity is the camp wide relay, as the whole camp is involved in an activity and get to feel like they are contributing."

Jake Kyriacou, joins his father and brother on Staff this year as a Lifeguard. While he may be guarding lives in the pool, he is deadly on the basketball court...watch out for his crossover during the 3 on 3 Steve Skrumbis Basketball Tournament!
 

"My favorite camp memory would have to be winning the 3 on 3 camp wide basketball tournament. I have always loved playing and watching sports but this tournament was something I had always wanted to participate in when I was a young Athenian and Olympian, so when I was finally old enough to enter into the draft I could not wait. It was a tough task to get to the championship game, but when our team did and won it all, I felt like I was on top of the world."

Yianni is one of our two Night Directors, who help keep the camp safe and secure through the night. Yianni has been on staff since 2013 and is known for his impressive magic tricks and bedtime lullabies,

"My favorite thing about camp is spending a whole two weeks with so many people that are there to genuinely have a great time and my favorite activity is sitting by the fire with Dimitri"
