Currently serving as Associate Head of School and Head of Lower School, Bryan brings a deep understanding of Ross's educational philosophy to summer programming.

What sets Ross Summer Camp apart is its intentional connection to the school's academic expertise.

His own formative experiences as a summer camper fuel his passion for creating meaningful summer opportunities that combine adventure with purposeful learning.

Currently a 2024/2025 NAIS Aspiring Heads Fellow, Bryan holds degrees from St. John's College, Teachers College Columbia University, and NYU Steinhardt. His background in mental health awareness education enhances his approach to creating supportive environments where children thrive year-round.

Bryan's vision leverages the strength of Ross School's educational philosophy while embracing the joy and freedom of summer camp. Under his leadership, Ross Summer Camp offers programs that ignite passion, foster community, and create lasting memories within the innovative Ross framework.

Before joining Ross School, Robyn held the position of Director at the Eleanor Whitmore Early Childhood Center in East Hampton. Her leadership skills and dedication to providing quality education to young children were evident during her time there.

Robyn's educational background includes a Bachelor of Science degree in Early Childhood Education from SUNY Oswego. She furthered her education at LIU Post, where she completed a master’s degree in Technology in the Classroom. Additionally, Robyn holds a New York teaching certification for Birth–Grade 6 and for students with disabilities in Birth–Grade 6.

She believes in fostering a love for learning and helping children develop the necessary skills to succeed academically and socially. Robyn's dedication to her profession and her students makes her a valuable asset to the educational community.

As Director of Ross Sports Camp, Robyn oversees a dynamic program rooted in the same philosophy that guides our school year athletics—helping students build confidence, resilience, and a lifelong relationship with movement. With programs in tennis, basketball, soccer, and multisport, her goal is for students to leave not only having grown as athletes but with a deeper appreciation for how sports support overall wellness, focus, and personal growth.

Sinéad has been a member of the Ross School community since 2013, bringing her passion for storytelling, curiosity, and connection to her role as school librarian and to her work at Ross Summer Camp. She holds a BA in English and History from University College Cork in Ireland, and an MA in Library and Information Sciences from Queens College, City University of New York.

An adventurer at heart, Sinéad grew up in Ireland and has lived in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, so she knows a thing or two about exploring the world with open eyes and an open mind. That same adventurous spirit is something she loves to spark in every camper she meets. Having worked as a camp instructor across all age groups before stepping into her role as an administrator, Sinéad has seen firsthand the magic that happens when kids are given the space to explore, create, and grow.

At Ross Summer Camp, Sinéad helps create an environment where campers feel encouraged to try new things and discover what excites them most. Whether cheering on young artists at the weekly Friday Family Showcase, supporting a budding naturalist on a trail walk, or helping make the library a welcoming Afternoon Choice space, she helps ensure that each camper’s summer is filled with curiosity, creativity, and memorable experiences.
