2022 Camp GreenZone
Letter from our Camp Director, Alyssa Bessasparis
New and Returning Campers and Families,
Welcome! My name is Alyssa Bessasparis and I am excited to be the DSRC Camp GreenZone Director this year!
I recently moved to Virginia from Pennsylvania where I worked in group homes, foster care and a behavioral needs school. I am now a 2nd-3rd grade teacher in McLean, VA, and I absolutely love it! I actually found my love of teaching through summer camps! I grew up ice skating, and some of my best childhood memories were attending ice skating summer camps. I made some of my best friends, and played the coolest games! As a teenager, one of my first jobs was the role of Summer Camp Counselor at an ice skating rink. I taught ice skating classes and private lessons while also doing camp crafts and outdoor activities. It was there that I learned I wanted to be a teacher. Now, I am excited to get back to the fun of summer camp!
My goal is to create a safe and fun-filled environment. I have heard wonderful things about Camp GreenZone, and I am excited to be part of it! My hope is that we can all build on the great activities that Camp GreenZone has offered in the past. We will swim, do crafts, play tennis, basketball, flag football, soccer, and many more games. If you have a favorite sport, craft or camp activity you like, be sure to let me know! I am always open to feedback and will do my best to incorporate all that you hope to get out of camp.
This year, we will continue to offer Mini Camp (ages 4-6), Junior Camp (ages 7-10) and Senior Camp/Counselors in Training (ages 11-13). We will offer full day and partial day camp as well as before and after care. Camp will run from mid-June through the end of August and I can’t wait to see you there! I look forward to a great summer!
