Austin Theis

Austin joined the Capital Camps community in 2011 as a Counselor and Archery Specialist. Over the past nine years, he’s been a part of the Capitals Camps summer staff team in a variety of roles, including Sports Coordinator, Staff Engagement Coordinator, and Retreat Staff. Austin’s love for summer camp developed when he attended summer camp in central Pennsylvania for eight summers. Austin holds a B.S.Ed in Secondary Education and Social Studies from Lock Haven University in central Pennsylvania. Prior to joining the Capital Camps year-round team, Austin was a high school History and Special Education teacher near Richmond, VA, which allowed him to return to Capital Camps summer after summer. Austin’s combined experience as a teacher and Capital Camps staff have perfectly prepared him for his role as Assistant Director.
