The Master Teacher Award is given to an Activity Specialist or Instructional Specialist who inspires children and displays the most creative, fun and captivating teaching style throughout the summer. In the Center for Growth and Innovation (CGI), Debate and Creative Problem Solving Counselor and Senior Camp True Life Adventure (TLA) Specialist, Matt, won it by a landslide. His smile and eagerness to teach were infectious and kept campers smiling all summer long.

Ichiban means number one, the best! The Ichiban Award is the top award for ESF Team Members and is based on overall excellence all summer long. A big congratulations goes out to our all-star Administrative Specialist, Kerri, who was named the 2015 CGI Ichiban recipient. In addition to doing her job beyond its expectations, she is always willing to help wherever she is needed in an effort to make ESF the best camp around.

Both of these awards are recognized as the highest that counselors can receive at any ESF Camp, and are given to those who are not only fantastic at their job but also extremely dedicated.
