Directors Emeritus
Robert & Sue Lebby

Robert and Sue Lebby have dedicated their lives to working in youth development.

Robert graduated from Duke University with a BS in Management Science. He attended Duke on a football scholarship, earned 3 Varsity letters in football (freshmen couldn’t play in those days) and 2 letters for participating on the track team. These experiences make him uniquely qualified to understand the type of program necessary to create an environment where all boys, regardless of athletic ability, are able to participate, have fun and enjoy playing competitive games without fear of being ridiculed and made fun of for making a mistake or an error on the field. Leb is often quoted saying, “If the game isn’t fun, change the game.” He also completed course work in outdoor education and camping administration from George Williams College and earned a teaching certificate in Physical Education from Cleveland State University.

Sue graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a bachelor’s degree in nursing. Sue has over 30 years of nursing experience. Her work at Children’s Hospitals in Minneapolis and Milwaukee gave her a great foundation to supervise the health and safety of our campers and staff. Sue was the camp nurse at North Star prior to marrying Leb.

Both are active in the American Camp Association and Robert recently completed his term as President of the Association of Independent Camps where he also served on the National Board of the American Camp Association.

Sue and Leb are the proud parents of Kacy and Garrett, and grandparents of Chase.
