Andy Stern returns to North Star after a two summer hiatus. A native of Highland Park, IL, Andy graduated from The University of Illinois with his teaching degree. Over the past year he's been substitute teaching as he looks for a full time teaching job. He's had a few sub positions, including his current long term job in Highland Park where he's worked with some of our campers.
This will actually be Andy's 10th year at camp, so add him to our slate of "Big Ten" guys. He'll be a cabin counselor and waterski and golf instructor, however he's also a big disc golfer, so he'll be spending some time there, too. We're glad to have Andy back!
