Dan Mickiewicz – Camp Director In-Training

Sponsored by the South Portland-Cape Elizabeth Rotary Club, Dan Mickiewicz’s first year of service at RYLA was in 2016. Since then, he has filled many roles: LEG Support, Facilitator, and Training Director. His newest role is that of Camp Director In Training, where he will work closely with the current Camp Directors, Jacey and Tim. A graduate of the University of Maine at Farmington, Dan now works as a Data Architect in Portland, Maine. He is an avid golfer and spends the remainder of his free time tinkering or cruising around with his classic car. Dan returns to the program year after year because of what RYLA provides to the campers: a place where remarkable growth can occur. Having the opportunity to witness campers develop their leadership strengths and achieve personal goals inspires Dan to give back to RYLA in every way he can.

Maya Edgerley – Programs Director

She has returned every year since, regardless of the two year break between her camper year and her first year as staff due to COVID. Maya studied English at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, a decision that her time at RYLA helped her to believe she could make. She spent a majority of her four years rediscovering her love for theatre through acting, directing and working behind the scenes on administration teams.

Jack serves as the Technology Director of the RYLA 7780 leadership team, working to grow RYLA’s digital presence and improve its accessibility. 

Ali Cote – Camp Nurse and Advisor

Ali’s RYLA journey began when the Saco Bay rotary sponsored her as a camper in 2015. After graduating from Thornton Academy, Ali went on to the University of Southern Maine where she earned her Bachelors of Science in Nursing. She began her nursing career specializing in Neuro Critical Care and has now transitioned to a school nursing role at her alma mater, Thornton Academy. One of her most memorable RYLA moments was not until years after her camper year, when she previous camp director, Sam Klemarcyzk, asked if she would take on the role of camp nurse. Returning to RYLA as the camp nurse inspired her transition from critical care to school nursing, as she reignitied her passion for working with young adults.

Bridget Monteith – Advisor

Bridget Monteith has been serving at RYLA since the York Rotary Club sponsored her in 2017. As Training Director, she put together workshops to build the RYLA staff. She focuses on helping members of the program discover new leadership styles and understand what they can bring to any team. This aligns with her pursuit of her Social and Behavioral Sciences degree. She believes RYLA has deepened her passion for people and inspired her to reach her career goals. She is continuing her education to become a Mental Health Counselor.
