Our Summer Camp Directors

Photo
Eric Sasson has over 25 years of camp experience, at some of the Northeast's finest camps, including Camp Walt Whitman, Camp Wingate*Kirkland and Camp Mah-Kee-Nac. He has been a full time camp professional for 10 years and is an active member of the American Camp Association. Eric earned a BA in Math from Haverford College and a Masters in Education from Harvard University. Outside of the camp world, he has extensive experience working with children and young adults in a variety of settings.

Debbie Sasson has been spending her summers at camp for more than 20 years. She has a BA in Psychology and a Masters in School Counseling from University of Rochester. After serving as a middle school counselor in Belmont, MA, she returned to school for Clinical Psychology and will be earning her Doctorate in Spring, 2008. Her work in the field has primarily focused on individual counseling for children, adolescents and families.

Debbie and Eric met at a summer camp and have been partners in camping ever since. They have each held virtually every job available at camp, from bunk counselor and swim instructor to unit head and camp director. Throughout their careers, Debbie and Eric have always found themselves gravitating towards the "quirky" kids. Opening Akeela enabled them to create an empowering community for these same kids.
