Sisters & Creators of Camp Stanley

Jessica Z. Hartz & Jen Zaborowski

Dear Campers and Parents,

Some of the best memories we Zaborowski sisters share happened at camp. In dire need of a vacation, mom and dad sent us away together. We still remember mom tucking sheets into our bunkbed and her near strangling us with hugs before she left with dad to travel the Maine coastline. Our parents' vacation was one of the best ideas they ever had.

We founded Camp Stanley for the Performing Arts because it is our passion to provide opportunities to all children who desire to be apart of something extraordinarily creative. Our program is aptly named after our favorite character, Grandpa Stanley, whose spirit captures the essence of a Camp Stanley experience; love of family, the value of friendships, the pursuit of creativity, the right to play, and the power of fun.
