Our Caring, Talented and Passionate Staff are
Windsor Mountain’s Greatest Strength
Jake and Kerry Labovitz, Directors
Jake’s dream of owning and directing an overnight summer camp dates back to his early years as a camper in New Hampshire, where he developed a great love for the magic of the camp experience. Those summer days served as a foundation for his belief in the amazing impact camp has on the growth and development of children. Kerry joined Jake on his camp journey and brings her midwestern roots and camp-mom energy to Windsor Mountain each summer. As directors of Windsor Mountain since 2010, Jake and Kerry see first-hand how Windsor Mountain provides children with connection, community and a whole lot of fun. As parents, we are keenly aware of the responsibility given to us by camp parents and take the safety, happiness and well-being of every camper and staff member to heart. We are accessible, hands-on and committed to creating safe, fun, meaningful and enriching experiences for the entire Windsor Mountain community.
Gabby Jack, Assistant Director
Gabby Jack is the Assistant Director at WMI. She came to Windsor Mountain in 2014 from the land down under (Australia) and spent her first two summers as a counselor in the Performing Arts department. Before becoming Head Counselor, Gabby served as a bunk counselor, Co-Director of Theater Fest and the Living Unit Coordinator in the Dorms. During her first few years at WMI, it became clear Gabby was made for camp life and she’s never looked back. A beloved counselor, Gabby became Windsor Mountain’s Head Counselor in 2017 and as of 2021 became Assistant Director. As the Assistant Director, she works closely with our incredible staff and campers, providing guidance and support on all things camper and staff related – from homesickness to fun sneak-outs and everything in between, Gabby is a go-to staff member and an incredible member of the leadership team. We are grateful she found this place among the pines. When Gabby is not working with staff and campers, you can find her leading an epic lip sync battle or cuddling up to her dog Aero.
Maggie Turner, Head Counselor
Maggie is our year round Head Counselor! Maggie started her journey at WMI in 2020 as a Dorm counselor. Over the years she has been on the Activities and Events team and has spent the past two summers as one of the Dorm LUCs. Throughout the year she spends her time traveling and working as an outdoor educator teaching students, 2nd-8th grade, about our beautiful planet. In between her travels she loves to visit home in Springfield, Missouri. At camp you can find Maggie leading activities in the art department and joining in all the wacky, fun, weirdness that happens around camp. She is excited to use her experience to provide support for all staff and campers to make this the best summer yet!

Whether they’re performing at Morning Meeting, helping serve meals, or finding small ways to support younger campers, Charlie enjoys watching LITs discover their own unique strengths and ways to contribute to camp life. When he’s not with the LITs, you can often find Charlie at the farm and garden as part of the Green Team.
