Joel has two great loves in life: the ocean and camps. Over 45,000 children have benefited from his programs. Joel began SCUBA diving in 1999 and moved to Colorado in 2005. In addition to creating camp programs at Ocean First, he owns and operates Wild Child Day Camp in Westminster. “I believe every child deserves camp—a special place where they can challenge themselves, make new friends, and be exactly who they want to be.” Joel loves sharks, climbing mountains, comic books, and creating zombie apocalypse survival plans.
