Sadie Kurzban hails from Miami, Florida. Growing up as one of five siblings in a vibrant Jewban (Jewish-Cuban) household, Sadie  always loved dancing, acting, and the creative arts. She graduated from Brown University in 2012 and founded 305 Fitness, a body-positive dance workout inspired by Miami, which she scaled to eight-figure revenues with locations across the Northeast. Today, Sadie serves as a business advisor to a number of women-owned start-ups and resides in New York City with her husband and their toddler, Mitch. 

David brings 30 years of experience in top-tier northeast residential camps. A lifelong artist and educator, he’s worked as a composer, conductor, arranger, and music director across community theatre, schools, national tours, cruise lines, and Broadway. He has produced and directed recordings for MTI, Disney Theatricals, and other major publishers, and his original musicals have been performed nationwide. A former camper and counselor himself, David is thrilled to combine his deep arts background with his love of camp at Med-o-lark.

For over 15 years, Brendan has recruited incredible staff from around the world who reflect Med-o-lark’s creative spirit and values. After earning a B.S. in Business Administration from SUNY Albany, he began his career on Wall Street—only to realize camp was where he truly belonged. A devoted supporter of the arts, Brendan now helps lead operations and keeps camp life running smoothly. Whether driving Molly the Trolley, teaching, or jumping into events, Brendan brings energy and heart. He, his wife Jessica, and their sons, Nathan and Dylan, proudly call Med-o-lark their summer home.

Calling Medolark home since 1999, Jody oversees daily programs, leads the leadership development program, and supports campers. A former camper and beloved counselor, he’s also a two-time national college curling champion and classically trained singer. In the off-season, Jody is an Associate Professor of Humanities at Maine Maritime Academy. As Medolark’s Ethicist in Residence, he helps uphold the camp’s values to foster a warm, inclusive community.

Meg brings over 20 years of camp leadership to Med-o-lark, including 24 seasons with Concordia Language Villages in roles from counselor to director to risk management lead. She’s passionate about creating safe, joyful, and enriching camp experiences. Meg lives in northern Minnesota with her husband, their son Everett (a Med-o-lark camper), and their pet lizard, Speedy. A fluent French speaker and plant enthusiast, Meg looks forward to supporting your family and welcoming you to camp.

Jerry Hess, our beloved Head Chef, has been with Med-o-lark for 13 years. He runs a school kitchen year-round and is passionate about healthy, locally sourced food. Jerry works closely with local farms to bring fresh, nutritious meals to camp—think homemade granola, hearty mains, and colorful salad bars. When he’s not cooking, he’s spending time with his two beloved dogs, Tillie and Fred. Thanks to Jerry’s care and creativity, Med-o-lark proudly serves some of the best camp food anywhere!
