Rob Glyn-Jones, Head Counselor
Rob lives in the north of England, although for the last fifteen years he has spent his summers
in the US working at camps. Rob started his camp career in 1996 as a counselor at Summit Camp in
Pennsylvania. He rose through the ranks at Summit and for eight years was a Unit Leader there, working
with boys aged between fourteen and eighteen. In 2010 he joined Camp Akeela as a Head Counselor and had an
immediate and profound impact on the Akeela campers and staff. He has always been drawn to working with children and
believes that camp is a fantastic environment for encouraging growth and development - as well as having a great time!
During the rest of the year, Rob works as an actor and workshop leader. A lot of this work takes
him into schools and colleges to facilitate issue-based presentations on a wide variety of topics
such as anti-social behavior, bullying, community cohesion and drug issues. In his spare time he
enjoys cooking, reading, swimming and watching Doctor Who!
