Camp Staff

Kristina joined BEEC in 2012 and loves exploring with youth of all ages to discover the wonders of nature together. She enjoys tracking in the sand, mud, and snow, playing games that let children become animals, and creating nature-inspired arts and crafts. Kristina grew up in Papua New Guinea and Botswana, with parents who loved adventure in the great outdoors, which instilled in her a great love of the natural world. At Marlboro College, Kristina earned her B.S. in Conservation Biology, with a focus on carnivore ecology and community conservation in southern Africa. At Antioch University New England, Kristina earned her M.S. in Environmental Education, with a focus on a continuum of outdoor and place-based education through the elementary and middle grades.

Fiona Goodman grew up in Brattleboro, attended BEEC camp as a child and was a camp counselor for two summers. She has worked as an environmental educator/naturalist interpreter in Vermont, New York and Colorado and is passionate about helping people get outside and engage with the natural world around them. She is a 2025 graduate of Sarah Lawrence College, studying Biology and Environmental Science. She loves insects, long walks, Irish fiddle, her dog Roxy, and lifting heavy weights.

Graham Glennon grew up in Brattleboro, enriched in cultural, recreational, and pastoral abundance, before moving to Minnesota for a liberal arts degree and a cross-country skiing program. Now he lives in Chicago and very much looks forward to his first summer with BEEC. Graham holds a BA in Spanish and Anthropology with a minor in Women’s & Gender Studies as well as a Master’s in education, and teaches high school social studies at Benito Juarez Community Academy in Chicago, coaching track & field as well as cross country at John Hancock College Preparatory High School. In his free time he loves music, audiovisual tech, and getting outside: biking, running, and, when lucky enough to be in Southern Vermont, enjoying the much-needed company of lichens, salamanders, herons, spring peepers, trees, and topographical diversity. (Co-instructor for all weeks of camp, except week of July 14)

Kate Weeks is beyond thrilled to be back at BEEC again this summer. She grew up in the immediate area and was even a camper at BEEC every summer for many years. She loves working with kids and has worked in child care for more than ten years. Kate has always loved watching a child’s curiosity and wonder for the world around them. A favorite activity when she’s with kids is exploring outside and she’s a huge fan of puddle jumping after a big rain storm. She works during the school year as a para educator at Vernon Elementary. When she’s not working she loves spending time with her husband and young son, as well as their bear of a dog named Sully. Her favorite plant is the daffodil for their smell and their determination to grow back every year, even in the rocky soil of Southern Vermont. (Co-instructor for all weeks of camp)

Kelsy Allan lives in an off-grid tiny house in the woods. She enjoys hiking, kayaking, snowboarding, and any excuse to be outside. Kelsy has a background in land stewardship and nontraditional outdoor education. She received a Bachelor’s degrees in Natural Resource Management and Environmental Science, and has had opportunities to play and work in the woods with kids of all ages through various positions with BEEC, nature museums, schools, and land trusts across New England. Kelsy particularly loves getting excited with folks about finding small creatures and eating wild foods.  (Co-instructor for the weeks of July 21, July 28, August 4). Kelsy is also the BEEC Naturalist Educator for the Nature Photo Explorers: Mountains to Moss program, along with Michael Zuhorski, Photography Educator from the In-Sight Photography Project.

Lily McGillion is originally from Brooklyn, New York, but has lived most of her life in Dummerston with three cats, a dog, and a small flock of chickens. Lily attended a Waldorf-inspired pre-school and participated in various nature-based programs and summer camps. She also grew up skiing and biking with her dad. Lily is passionate about working with kids and was fortunate enough to take a college-level course on early childhood education and a community-based learning class during her high school career, both of which included internships at an Early Childhood Education Center. Lily is very excited to join the Nature Explorers team this summer! (Co-instructor for all weeks of camp)

Siri Harrison has lived most of her life between Vermont and New Hampshire, exploring the forests by her homes. She loves taking long walks in both the sun and the rain, and is especially drawn to  bluebirds, cedar wax wings, and wildflowers of all types. She developed an appreciation for the natural world at a young age, climbing trees, frequenting swimming holes, and mushroom scavenging with her dad. Growing up with one parent a science teacher and the other a primary school teacher, she learned by example how to interact with and care for children and the environment in turn.  (Co-instructor for the weeks of June 30, July 7, July 14)
