Chance brings several years of YMCA camping experience to the Camp Cullen team. Originally from San Antonio, Chance spent many summers as a camper and eventually staff member at YMCA Camp Flaming Arrow. After graduating from Texas Tech University with a degree in Marketing, he decided to dive into the world of camping full time, gaining valuable experience at Camp Fitch YMCA and YMCA Camp Grady Spruce.

Chance is glad to have found his way to the beautiful Camp Cullen and can’t wait to meet all the campers this summer.

As a proud Camp Cullen alum, Jeremy feels like he’s living the dream now that he’s back serving and leading at the place he spent his summers from 1997-2003. After his stint as a camp staff assistant in the summer of 2003, he found his way into professional kitchens and restaurants. A brief service with the US Navy took him out of the kitchen for a bit, but he quickly returned in 2009 and never looked back.

Jeremy wholly understands the power food has over an individual and that a shared meal can make total strangers the best of friends. It will be a true joy for him to bring his experience back to camp to help elevate the food service department to astronomical heights.
