Camp Turk Staff
At Camp Turk we know that our outstanding staff members are truly the heart and soul of our program. In order to lovingly teach, nurture, support, cheer on, care for, and bring out the very best in each camper, we employ a staff of extraordinary and selfless individuals willing to give the best of themselves each and every day of summer camp. Our Camp Turk administrators are dedicated to our campers and our team, and work to create an environment that is conducive to learning, growing, and most of all - fun!
Meet Our Administrative Staff
Mollie Denslow - Camp Administrator
I have been an integral part of Camp Turk since 1990. Over the years, Camp Turk has become much more than a workplace; it is truly my “home away from home.”
As Camp Administrator, I play an important role in the year-round planning and operations of the camp. During the off-season, I work closely with the Camp Director, Camp Turk Committee Chairman, and Executive Director of the Masonic Care Community to prepare for each upcoming summer. My responsibilities include coordinating administrative operations, reviewing and updating safety protocols, discussing program improvements, overseeing marketing and promotional efforts, and assisting with staff and camper recruitment. Much of this work takes place behind the scenes, but it is essential to ensuring that each summer is successful and provides campers with a safe, positive, and memorable experience.
What is my favorite part about Camp Turk? There is simply too much to love to choose just one thing! From our beautiful 1,500-acre property and private lake nestled in the Adirondack Park to the peaceful surroundings of the Chapel in the Pines, Camp Turk is a truly special place. Most rewarding, however, is watching campers grow, develop confidence, build lasting friendships, and create memories that will stay with them for years to come. I feel fortunate to be part of an organization that has such a meaningful impact on the lives of children. I cannot imagine spending my summers anywhere other than Camp Turk!
Outside of camp, I live in Boonville, NY, with my husband, Lyn. We have two adult children, Jeffrey and Symantha, a son-in-law, Hanns, and two beautiful granddaughters, Greta and Ana, who bring us tremendous joy.
Katie Beaulieu - Camp Director
Summer camp has been an important part of my entire life.
I have a BA from Assumption University and an MBA from the University of Massachusetts, Boston. I spent a decade in the financial industry and then took some time off to start a family. It was then that my love for summer camp and its opportunity to positively impact young lives, led me to switch careers and return to my camping roots. I became the director of an overnight camp in New Hampshire for five years before moving on to Camp Turk in the summer of 2023.
My husband and I have now been married for 15 years and we have six beautiful daughters. Being a parent is an incredible asset in the camping world. I am able to connect on a parent/guardian level as well as camp director level. Like motherhood, working in a vocation that creates a healthy and happy environment for children and young adults to seek self-knowledge and build self-confidence is incredibly humbling and inspiring. I love working at Camp Turk and I look forward to watching our campers and staff continue to learn, grow, and return year after year.
