Ian Roberts

A native Californian, Ian Roberts first attended summer camp at 5 years old. Inspired by this formative experience, Ian quickly developed a deep passion for the incredible benefits the wilderness provides. This resolve stuck with him through college, leading him to get his BS in Wilderness Leadership and Experiential Education from Brevard College and MA in Adventure Recreation from Prescott College.

Over the years, Ian has worked with and created record-breaking and innovative programs for several well-known organizations, leading them to international recognition. Now, as a veteran of the non-profit, outdoor recreation, and summer camp industry, having served in field, support, and executive-level leadership roles for the past 20+ years, Ian specializes in helping organizations optimize their operations and improve profitability, all while creating impactful and life-changing experiences for youth.

Ian is inspired daily by his wife, Stephanie, and their two children, River (6) and Kaya (13). In his free time, Ian loves to participate in adventure races, kayak, spelunking, and work on their micro homestead.

He is beyond thrilled to join the Camp GROW family and looking forward to developing lifelong relationships with the campers, families, and community.
