Andrew VanDerWege 

Camp is Andrew’s life’s work.  He grew up at resident camp where his parents, Dave and Kathy, were on staff.  He went on to become a Camp Counselor, Day Camp Director, Director of Camping Services, Resident Camp Director, and now Owner and Director of Go West Camps.  Andrew has been involved in professional development in the camp industry, serving as the Education Chair for the American Camp Association. Andrew is a volunteer board member with the Pikes Peak Children's Museum, Medicine Wheel Trail Advocates, Bike Colorado Springs and the American Camp Association Local Council of Leaders. Andrew’s favorite part of camp is challenging kids to step outside of their boxes, meet new people, and explore the possibilities.
