Meet the Director:
At age 18, I was given the opportunity of a lifetime – a position as YMCA camp counselor at
Camp St. Croix. I discovered my passion for working with youth and helping them to connect with
nature through meaningful outdoor experiences.
To be a part of the Camp Heritage team is beyond thrilling for me! I look forward to giving kids
fun and unique opportunities for growth in a nature-inspired setting. Whether you are a parent or
camper, a Camp Heritage experience is sure to put a smile on your face.
Feel free to call me at 651-276-5610 or email me at daniel.obrien@ymcatwincities.org with any
