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!
Colleen Esposito
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!
Nick Meyers
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.

Sophia Cooper
Hello! My name is Sophia. I attended BT Camp for 10 years and was a counselor for 4. During my camper years, I had so much fun participating in, both, the theatre and Day Camp programs. All of those fun-filled camper years well prepared me for my counselor roles in Units Bet, Daled, and Hay. I am an alum of Pikesville High School and am currently in my Junior year at Towson University studying child psychology. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my friends, baking, trying new things, cheerleading, and playing softball. I am so excited to have worked my way up to being a Unit Head and I can’t wait to welcome all of our incredible campers back to BT Camps for another fantastic summer!
