Meet the Camp Director

Hello! I’m Kari Mock and I am thrilled that you are considering Westminster's Camp Griffin. As the Camp Director, I welcome you and am available to answer any questions about our camp.

A little about me ... I have been at Westminster School for over 10 years. I began as the Hostess and Event Coordinator, and soon after, joined the camp and extended-day care staff, and helped as a substitute teacher. After gaining classroom experience, I served as a Kindergarten Aide. Since 2015, I have worked as a Preschool Aide and Director of Camp, Enrichment, and Extended-Day Care Programs.

Camp programs are an integral part of a child’s intellectual, social and emotional development. Problem-solving, working with others, and developing independence are all key steps in a child’s overall growth.  In addition to a rich summer program, we also offer intersession camps during winter and spring break.  Camp Griffin is conveniently located at 3819 Gallows Road, Annandale, Virginia 22003 (just two stop-lights from 495).

Unlike many summer camps that hire from the outside, Camp Griffin is primarily staffed with Westminster faculty and alumni. They are camp-certified and well-versed in Westminster values, such as kindness, cooperation, and respect of others. Our staff brings an enthusiasm for creativity, exploration, and fun.

At Camp Griffin, we accept children from age 3 to rising eighth grade. Campers are divided into three different age groups to ensure that they are exposed to-age appropriate activities and schedules. We strive for the children to be busy exploring the world around them. We encourage individuality while they are fostering their own creativity.

I am available to answer any questions regarding Camp Griffin.  You can reach me by email at [email protected], or call at 703-340-7268.
