The adults who run camp

• 

  Maykou Phang

  Director

  Maykou started Windbreaker on her church's lakeside grounds so children in Bemidji could have long days outside, even when the morning is cold. She runs garden week and the snack table herself, and she is at the front steps most mornings to answer the camp phone. She speaks Hmong and English with families.

• 

  Rani Shetty

  Trail and craft lead

  Rani leads the woods trail and the shore craft blocks. She walks each age group through the creek bridge and the tick check, and keeps the craft tables stocked so rainy-day blocks run as smoothly as sunny ones.

• 

  Simisola Akande

  Lake hour lead

  Simisola leads the lake hour and the paddling weeks. She keeps the life jackets sorted, runs the dock routine for each age group, and decides each morning whether the water is right for the lake hour.

• Spoken at camp

  • English, The whole team
  • Hmong, Maykou
