Who We Are

Jenny Beck, Executive Director

Jenny Beck started as the Executive Director of PCP in 2008. She will be one of the first people to greet you on opening day.  And watch out. She always wants a hug – from both returning AND new campers.  That is just the way she is.

Jenny has been passionate about camp, music and kids since she was one herself.  Although she claims she is not a musician, Jenny met her husband, Steve, on the piano bench as accompanists to their junior high school jazz band.

Most summer days, you will find Jenny in her office, The Coop, or in the kitchen.  She likes to know everybody and always wants to know what is going on, and somehow, she does!  Jenny loves to sing.  It won’t take you long to learn her favorites. And when Amadeus, PCP’s resident owl, swoops in at a campfire, please make sure she is aware of the owl’s presence; she probably will get tears in her eyes. It happens.

Noel Mitchell, Operations Manager
 
Noel is originally from New Haven, CT, but is no stranger to Vermont or to Point CounterPoint (PCP). Noel started PCP as a camper in 2011, came back as a counselor in 2021, and joined the PCP staff in 2023. Noel received his degree in Political Science with a concentration in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from the University of Connecticut. Noel is alumna of and currently serving on the Board of Directors for Music Haven, a nationally recognized and award winning non-profit organization that provides tuition-free lessons and string instruments to students in the most underserved communities of New Haven. Noel believes that music has the capabilities to cultivate a space where all individuals feel encouraged and empowered to take part-in the creation of art and self expression. Through music, individuals are provided an opportunity for deeper understanding and self-reflection, which is an integral part of breaking down artificial barriers within all spaces for a more inclusive environment. When he is not working at PCP, Noel can be found jamming to good tunes, cradling his dog, Covi, or hanging out with his brothers! Noel is very excited to be back working on Lake Dunmore, and watching the campers grow as musicians and people!

Cabin Counselors

Our Cabin Counselors are the first friendly faces campers encounter upon arrival, and with whom special bonds are formed that often last a lifetime. Non-music activities at camp are led by Cabin Counselors who are college students whom share a passion for music with the campers. Many of our counselors are music majors hailing from institutions such as Peabody Conservatoire and the Eastman School of Music. Our counselors are from diverse backgrounds and come from all over the world ranging from London to Germany to Korea. Counselors spend a week of staff training focusing on safety, nurturing, homesickness, fun, leading games and hikes, team-building , campfires, PCP traditions and other skills that help to make the summer successful for each camper.

Music Faculty

Each two-week session has its’ own inspiring and nurturing music faculty group to help the campers develop their love and technical growth of music. You can find out more about them by clicking here.
