Stephan Lockney
Camp Frank A. Day Director
stephanl@wsymca.org
Stephan joined the team here at the West Suburban YMCA in December 2017 after 23 years working for the YMCA of Central Massachusetts. As a career YMCA camping professional, Stephan believes that summer camp offers a unique chance for children to build social and emotional skills that help them mature into thriving young adults. He has a passion for training peers in the industry in staff training, recruitment, retention, motivation along with child development and child protection. His past work in Central Massachusetts at a camp serving the special needs populations was recognized by the State of Massachuetts as a Distinguished Program. He works to continue that inclusive-based work with the West Suburban YMCA and Camp Frank A Day. One thing that excites Stephan about residential camp is creating and participating in traditions and programs that campers enjoy for years to come.
