Sears Park Summer Camp

Program Director Kat Robinson - K-5 Grade Program
Kat Robinson may be new to the position as director, but she is not new to Sears Park Summer Camp! Kat has worked with Parks and Recreation in the past as assistant director at camp, but is excited to step in as director for the 2021 Summer. Originally from East Hampton, Kat has attended East Hampton schools and was even a Sears Park camp goer 20 years ago! Kat may also be a familiar face to many of our campers and families as she is in her third year as the Physical Education and Health teacher at Center School. Kat enjoys working with her fourth and fifth graders and feels so fortunate to be part of such an amazing school and town. Kat attended Westfield State University in Massachusetts to earn her Bachelor’s degree in Movement Science and Physical Education and this past winter she finished her program at the University of St. Joseph’s and earned her Master’s degree in Special Education. Kat enjoys all things involving the outdoors; swimming, hiking, mountain biking, barbequing, taking her dog for walks and more! Kat is very excited to step into this new position as Camp Director and looks forward to sunshiny days, lots of laughter and a safe, fun-filled summer at Sears Park!
