Meet Camp Knutson’s Leadership Team!

Jared Griffin is the Senior Camp Director for LSS of MN’s Camp Knutson. He holds degrees in Special Education and Youth Leadership and Development. “Camp is a place where all are welcome and each and every life is celebrated. Every person who comes to camp, in any capacity, has the opportunity to share their gifts, realize their strengths, and make life-long friendships. It is a community like Camp Knutson that helps us bring out the best in each other. I'm honored to have the privilege to serve as a leader in a community that cares so deeply about our mission.”

Caitlin Malin is Camp Knutson’s Director of Services. She is a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist and a Certified Child Life Specialist. “Camp Knutson has given me the opportunity to work alongside those who share their endless love, energy, and compassion to each of our campers. My favorite part about camp is when campers or staff accomplish something new that they never thought they could. Campers experience new strength, confidence, friendships and courage to be themselves while at camp. To witness that every day is humbling. It is a true honor to be a part of it.”

Josh Sitarz graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Natural Science from St. John’s University. “Camp Knutson is a place that allows individuals to be their best selves by providing a safe environment to make new friends, grow self-confidence and try new activities. It is a privilege to be a part of this Camp community and to provide the best possible experience for our campers each and every day.”

“It is an honor to be able to help create a fun and safe place for campers to come to and enjoy God’s Creation without their extra pressures of life. Hearing the campers’ laughter and the stories from their experience is inspiring.”
