Heather was born and raised in Baltimore and attended Beth Tfiloh Camp as a child. You might recognize Heather as she was a preschool teacher at Beth El and Beth Tfiloh for many years. Heather left teaching in 2014 to open Yankee Doodle, a children’s arts and crafts store.
At Yankee Doodle, Heather was able to combine two of her passions, working with children while creating arts and crafts projects. In more recent years Heather has been focused on her three young children, Logan 7 years old, Riley 5 years old and Dylan 3 years old. She is excited to be at BT Camp and looks forward to creating craft-tastic memories this summer!

Hi! I’m Ashley and I’ve been at BT Camp since 1990 (when I was 4 years old). I always loved camp, especially nature, and decided that I wanted to be Bob (the head of nature at the time) when I grew up. Toward that end I became an LT, aide, instructor, and finally Department Head. I’ll never be as cool or knowledgeable as Bob but I’ve got a few decades to work on it. Outside of camp I earned a bachelors of science in biology at Bryn Mawr College and a Masters in Art of Teaching in secondary science at Salisbury University. I’m currently a high school science teacher with BCPS. On the weekends my wife (a former BT camps counselor) and I enjoy walking the goats that live at nature, hiking, cross stitching, and playing disc golf. I look forward to another great summer here at BT Camps!

Hi, I’m Nick. I have been with BT Camps since 2017 and have been the Maccabi Sports Camp Director since 2019. I have one son, who began his camp experience with BT Camps in 2021 and is very excited to return to continue his way through our programs at BT Camps. During the school year, I am a World Languages teacher, teaching both Spanish and Latin, in the Baltimore County Public School System after receiving my B.A. in Spanish and Secondary Education from Salisbury University in 2010, my M.S. in Instructional Technology from University of Maryland Global Campus in 2016, as well as an M.Ed. in School Counseling from McDaniel College. During my free time, I can be found with my son playing/coaching sports in the yard (soccer is the current favorite) along with just spending time outside with my wife and son.

Nick brings over 3 decades of day, travel, and overnight camping experience to BT camps. Nick has been a camper, counselor, and specialist at camps in Pittsburgh and in Baltimore, including here, at BT Camps, since 2013. Nick is a social studies teacher with the Anne Arundel County School system, and is a sports specialist at camp. During his spare time, you can find Nick spending time with his wife, Sheryl, and their kids, Lila and Spencer, often at sporting events or officiating a soccer or basketball game!

Hi – my name is Colleen Esposito. I have been part of BT Camps summer staff since 2018. In my time at camp I have been a swim instructor, a theater camp assistant director, a theater camp counselor, and the Unit Head for Hay/Vav, where I’ll be again this summer. During the school year, I work as a theater arts and technical theater teacher in the Baltimore County Public Schools, where I have been part of the BCPS family since 2014. I love working with children in the classroom, on the stage, and at camp. At school, I direct Fall and Spring productions as well as an end of the year showcase. Watching my students progress in their love of the arts and own self-confidence is such a great joy! I have a Bachelor’s of Arts degree from McDaniel College in Theater Arts with minors in Acting, Literature, and Interactive Theatre. I also have a Master’s of Arts in Teaching degree from Towson University in secondary education, and a second Master’s of Arts in Education from Goucher College. When I am not at camp or school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, my two amazing daughters, my family, and friends. Like me, my daughters also love spending their summers at BT Camps and are already looking forward to what will be another amazing summer!

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, Ben and Gabe have been attending the “big camp” since the summers they turned 4 and find BT Camps to be a 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!”

I attended BT Camps as a camper and I love that my 2 children, Lila and Spencer, also get to spend their summers here. As a graduate of the University of Maryland with a BA in Education, I began my career teaching in Maryland. During the school year, I am a special educator for 7th and 8th graders teaching ELA. Beginning in 2018, I worked as a counselor in Travel Camp and moved up to the role of Director of Travel Camp as the years progressed. In 2023, I became the LT Unit Head. I enjoy working with our LTs to help them gain valuable leadership skills which will enable them to become a fantastic camp counselor and continue to utilize these important skills throughout their lives. As the Travel Camp Director, I enjoy planning and going on our scheduled trips. Campers get so excited to see where we are going, and they really enjoy all of the activities we have on our schedule. BT camps continues to be my summer home. During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband Nick and my children. Together, we enjoy bike riding, watching the kids play sports, watching movies and traveling.
