Desmond McCullough

Hi – my name is Desmond McCullough and this will be my 7th summer being a part of the BT family. Also this will be my 2nd summer as Aleph and KinderCamp unit head. Besides camp, I graduated from University of Maryland Eastern Shore with a Bachelors in biology.  I continued my education at Tuskegee University where I received my masters in animal science. During the school year I  am a high school biology teacher with Baltimore city school systems.  When I am not working with kids, you can catch me working with animals at an animal hospital,  hanging out with my family, friends and my 3 dogs. I am so excited for camp and for another summer in Unit Aleph and KinderCamp.

Rachel Levy

Hi BT Family! My name is Rachel (Eisenberg) Levy.  I began my nursing journey working at Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital with the infants and toddlers.  In 2010 I graduated University of Maryland School of Nursing with my Masters in Nursing and certification as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. After graduation I joined the corporate world and traveled for 5 years to different hospitals, helping to configure, educate, and go live with telemetry and bedside monitors.  While the travel was fun, I missed working with children and began working for the school systems.  I am currently a School Nurse for Baltimore County Schools, at Milbrook Elementary School.

I joined the BT Camp family back in 1987 when I began attending camp as a camper.  I continued my journey through and have worked at camp as a Counselor, Lifeguard, Floater, and then after a 9-year hiatus rejoined the BT Camp Family as one of the amazing Camp Nurses.  I stayed part of the Health team since, taking a summer off to enjoy time in Israel with family.  My two boys, ages 10 and 14 have been attending the “big camp” since the summers they turned 4 and call BT Camps home.  It brings me joy to be back and to be here to help care for your children while they are in camp.  As I tell my school families, I will treat your children like they are my own while we are in camp.  Please feel free to contact camp at any time with health concerns that you may have.  I look forward to being back this summer with my “family!”
