Jesse Scherer - Camp Director

Jesse has lived his entire life in and around the camping business. Starting as the youngest camper at Eagle Hill and rising through the ranks to become a waiter, counselor, Group Leader, Head Counselor and Camp Director, Jesse’s years of camp experience at Eagle Hill serve him well as he leads the camp through its fifth decade of operation under his family’s ownership. After receiving an undergrad and law degree, Jesse has spent the last 20 plus years running camp on a full time basis, recruiting campers and staff, developing the camp program during the off-season and directing the operations during the summer at camp itself. As the father of twins and career “camp person”, Jesse prides himself on taking the time to get to know each camper personally and has the ability to affect each camper’s experience with the individual camper’s needs in mind.

Toba Duggan - Operations Manager

Toba joins her brother Jesse each summer as an integral part of the management of Camp Eagle Hill. As the Operations Manager, Toba is involved with overseeing the workings of the camp’s kitchen, dining room, office, canteen, infirmary and laundry service. Toba is a 3rd Grade Teacher with the Mount Vernon Board of Education and the mother of three daughters, all of whom have been campers for many years at Eagle Hill. As a former camper and longtime staff member, Toba understands the value and worthwhile nature of the kind of camp experience children can have at Camp Eagle Hill.

Stacy Alben - Girls Head Counselor

Stacy can’t remember a time before camp was a part of her life. She started as a camper in 1971, served as a CIT, counselor and later as a Group Leader, all at Camp Eagle Hill. Years passed and she became the mother of two boys. Since 2006, her children have gotten to partake in the experiences that meant so much to her. After some time in the camp office in 2007 reacquainting herself with the day to day of camp life, she had the honor and privilege of becoming the Girls’ Head Counselor in 2008. Stacy imparts the strong feelings of warmth and fun and helps to create lifetime friendships, all of which she was lucky enough to experience as a child at Eagle Hill. During the rest of the year, Stacy is a (nearly) full-time homemaker, is very active in the PTAs of her childrens’ schools and is a part-time substitute teacher on the elementary school level. She has also assisted Jesse for the past six years in planning several successful alumni events. Establishing fond childhood memories is her highest priority.

Marie Peterson - Program Director

Marie is thrilled to be a part of the Eagle Hill team. As the oldest of seven children and having worked professionally as a school teacher, Marie has been involved with the education and care of children her entire life. Marie holds certifications in elementary and special education from St. Thomas Aquinas College in New York as well as a certification in middle school math education from The University of Notre Dame in Indiana. Marie has worked with children of all ages and currently works as a gymnastics instructor with children from ten months of age through college-aged students. Marie has been teaching gymnastics for 11 years and has recently supervised the Eagle Hill gymnastics program in addition to her responsibilities as the camp’s Program Director. Marie has worked with Girl Scouting groups, Cheerleading groups and many, many other groups over the years. New and different experiences are the absolute best way to learn, grow and gain opportunities, in Marie’s opinion. Marie is excited to bring to camp that which she has learned through her vast experiences and enjoys contributing to the growth of Eagle Hill’s wonderful group of campers and staff while continuing to add to her own personal growth through her work at camp.

David Borack - Athletic Director

David currently resides in Orlando, Florida with his wife and two children. After receiving his law degree from the University of Miami in 1993, David has spent the last 17 years building a successful law practice. His entire life has been heavily influenced by athletics. David currently coaches a youth soccer team as well as a youth little league baseball team. He is a very energetic person who brings to Camp Eagle Hill a wealth of knowledge about athletics and camp in general.
