Jonathan and Alyssa are North Star's new directors. They're new to this community, but they're not new to camp or to the traditions of summer camps in Maine.

Jonathan spent more than 20 summers at Camp Wekeela as a camper and counselor, and then more than 10 years as its Assistant Director. Along the way he held almost every role camp has to offer: Landsports staff, Cabin Leader, Operations Coordinator, Leadership-in-Training Coordinator, Program Director, and Head Counselor. He oversaw all of Wekeela's staff hiring, because he believes the counselors in a cabin matter more than anything else at camp. He holds a degree in Hospitality Administration from Boston University and is deeply involved in several ACA New England and Maine Summer Camp committees. He's a camp person to his core.

Alyssa has spent the past 13 summers at Wekeela in a range of roles, most of them focused on building future leaders. During the year she's an occupational therapist and the founder of Nest & Nurture OT, a practice that supports postpartum mothers and their young children. Her background in child development shapes how she thinks about every camper's experience, especially for kids spending their first summer away from home.

Jonathan and Alyssa met on their very first day at BU in 2013 and were married in 2022. Their son, Noah, was born in April 2025, and he'll be spending plenty of summers on the North Star waterfront.
