Year Round Staff

Natalie King
Executive Director natalie@cycamp.org
Natalie has been working in camping since 2000 and is proud to be part of the CYC team. "Camp is my passion. There is a unique and absolutely magical energy that only exists at camp. It is a combination of creative, positive, enthusiastic staff with joyful kids, sunshine, fresh air and nature, swirled together with laughter and music and beauty. There is nowhere else on earth that you can find that spirit and I am thrilled each day I go to "work". When I'm not at camp, I'm thinking about camp, or wishing I was at camp." Natalie is a 2004 graduate of St. Mary's University in Winona, MN. She lives in St. Paul where she spends all of her non-camp time working on her house, cooking, crafting, reading, traveling, and playing with the Camp Dogs Olivia and Griffin.
