erin stevens mckay

camp director

&

chief ambassador of compassion

erin's lifelong calling to compassion is fueled by her belief that we are each the experts of our own experience & deserve sanctuary spaces in which we can explore & express unflinching generosity to ourselves, to one another, to Creation all around us. she is a tender & brave listener with an unique ability to hear the hearts of others , to call them forward on a path toward their fullest dreams & abilities. her own walk through multiple traumas keeps her grounded in the value of holding ourselves & one another with grace. she has been blessed to reside at camp bliss alongside her equally tenacious life partner, their rowdy & radiant children & a never ending number of creatures. in her heart of hearts, she will forever be a camp counselor (dreadlocks included.)
