Staff Spotlight: John Sheehan

John Sheehan will be returning to North Star for summer #3. We first met John on our yearly trip to the University of Illinois. Again, we’ll give the dinner at Papa Del’s the assist on landing John. A native of Carol Stream, IL, he’ll be graduating from U of I in a few weeks. He’s on the look out for a job, possibly working for an NGO. John took a mission trip to Africa a few years ago, spending time in Kenya where he worked in a school, and he’s shared his stories and pictures from his amazing trip with us at camp.

A member of our leadership team, John is one of our village directors. He’ll return in that role as well as a basketball and waterski instructor. We’re thrilled to have John back… and if anyone knows of any jobs for John, let us know… we’ll be a real asset as he is at North Star!
