Meet our Camp Director
“I’m honored to be back as the director of Himmelbjerget. I started as a camper, became a counselor, language teacher, and have directed in the past. One thing I love about Himmelbjerget is the incredible team of people who show up to make magic and help kids understand their connection to Denmark, each other, and the larger world. I now get to bring my children to camp, along with lots of other second generation campers (and sometimes third generation campers). It has been the highlight of my summers since 1992!”
Maren Williams, Himmelbjerget Camp Director
