Ben Baker (he/him)
Joining the CCO team is a dream come true for Ben. He’s been part of the YMCA family since 2012, taking on roles as a Summer Camp Program Director, Children's Museum Education Director, after-school Program Director, and Senior Program Director for a residential YMCA summer camp. No matter the role, his heart has always been with the campers, students, and their families that he’s had the privilege to serve.
Ben is especially excited to invest in the camp staff—helping them grow, lead, and create unforgettable experiences for campers. He wholeheartedly believes that you can teach a good person anything—and that goodness exists in everyone. He’s also deeply passionate about the transformative power of camp and the YMCA, and he’s honored to be a steward of CCO’s incredible legacy.
Outside of camp, you’ll find Ben adventuring throughout nature with his wife, playing and recoding music, and is eager to camp, hike, ski, and skate across CCO’s breathtaking property.
