SAM WILKINSON – Sam will be returning for his 4th summer at Camp Echo Lake, and his 2nd as the Main Village Program Coordinator after transitioning from being the Soccer Head Specialist for his first two summers.  In this role, Sam runs lineups and evening activities, and also supports the activity staff in their respective areas.  Sam has a background in Physical Education, and coaches a junior soccer team in his native England.  During this past year, he has been working on an internationally recognized graduate teacher qualification that will help him achieve his goal of teaching in the United States.
