Staff Spotlight: Dylan Fogarty

There is a lot of pressure that arises when a former staff member refers one of their friends to work at camp. You’re worried that if your friend doesn’t do a great job, there goes your reputation (so much for that job reference!!!). On the other hand, if your friend doesn’t have a good summer, you may never live down “the summer that you had be go work at that crazy camp in Wisconsin”. So there is a lot of pressure on 2011 counselor Scott Diebel, who told us back in the fall that his friend Dylan Fogarty would make a good counselor.

 Dylan is a sophomore at the University of
Minnesota – Twin Cities.  He is currently working on majoring in Sport
Management.  To put it simply, his life revolves around sports.  Whether he is playing, watching, discussing, or thinking about them, he love every
aspect of sports.  Dylan’s best friend is Scott
Diebel, and Dylan claims that they are very similar.  Like Scott, Dylan loves being
outdoors in the summer.  Hailing from Arlington Heights, IL, Dylan has two younger sisters. At camp he’ll be a tennis instructor.
