Guy Taylor

Hi! My name is Guy. I first joined BT Camps as a camper in the summer of 2011 and became part of our lifeguard staff in 2022. In addition to lifeguarding, I’m also a certified Water Safety Instructor and Pool Operator. Being here at camp is something I always enjoy and this summer I’m particularly excited to take on my new role as Assistant Aquatics Department Head. After graduating from Beth Tfiloh in 2025, I now attend the University of Florida, where I study Business Administration and Philosophy, Politics, Economics, and Law as a Rosenthal-Levy Scholar. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, swimming, reading, and spending time with family and friends. I’m looking forward to spending time with everyone here at BT Camp again this summer!

Shayna Levin

Hi, I’m Shayna! I’ve been part of the Beth Tfiloh family and community since I was born. I’m a proud alum of BT, a “lifer,” having attended from Pre School through High School. Most of my summers were spent here as a camper, Leadership Trainee (LT) and, in 2019, I became part of our counselor staff. In 2023, I obtained my lifeguard certification and joined the pool staff. Since 2024, I’ve enjoyed being one of the Aquatics Department Heads and Instructional Swim Coordinators. Additionally, I’m also a certified Water Safety Instructor and Pool Operator. After having graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park, in May 2025 with a B.A. in Hearing & Speech Sciences, I am currently attending graduate school, earning my Doctorate of Audiology (Au.D.), at Towson University. In my free time, I love spending time with family and friends, attending concerts and sporting events, traveling, going to the beach, spending time outside, bike riding, playing pickleball, and listening to all kinds of music. I can’t wait for another incredible summer with my BT Camps family!

Hello! My name is Dylan and I have spent my summers at BT Camps since I was in 2nd grade. Throughout those years, I was a camper and Leadership Trainee (LT) before becoming a certified lifeguard in 2020. That summer, I lifeguarded during our designated “Family Camp” sessions and my first full summer working as part of our pool staff was in 2021. As of summer 2024, I’ve been one of the Aquatics Department Heads and Instructional Swim Coordinators. Additionally, I’m also a certified Water Safety Instructor and Pool Operator. I’m an alum of Glenelg Country School and am currently attending McDaniel College in Westminster, Maryland pursuing a degree in business management. In my free time I love spending time with my family and friends, attending sporting events, traveling, spending time outside, and exercising. Being at BT Camps makes me feel like I’m a part of a huge family and I can’t wait for another fun-filled summer with my BT family!

Rachel Murinson

Hello! My name is Rachel. I’m a certified lifeguard with special certification in Open Water Safety and each summer since 2022, I’ve been working at the BT Camp lake. We have a great time doing the many water activities and my number one priority is making sure that campers stay safe while having fun. As a Beth Tfiloh alum, having attended from Lower School through High School, working at camp keeps me well connected to my BT family and community. Currently, I’m a freshman at UMBC studying Biology on the Pre-Med track. In my free time I enjoy swimming, reading, singing, and hanging out with family and friends. I really love connecting with all of the campers and I can’t wait for another fun-packed summer with everyone at BT Camps!

Ashley Himelfarb

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 – 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!
