Meet Your 2025 Plunkett Lake Cabin Counselors

Our Cabin Counselors impact Berky campers beyond the soccer field and the activity areas.

Each cabin of 8-12 campers typically houses one Assistant Soccer Coach and one Elective Staff member. This gives the girls the opportunity to build relationships and bond with both soccer and elective staff members.  Our cabin counselors work together to supervise and support their campers. They are essential mentors and positive role models, promoting friendships and fun and encouraging positive group interactions and cohesion. They also ensure campers keep the cabins organized during daily cabin clean-up.

Our Res Life Leader oversees all aspects of cabin life and camper well-being. They work alongside our health staff and cabin counselors to ensure that campers feel safe, supported and have fun during their time at Berky.

Jenn Ireland returns to the Berky Staff for her second summer, overseeing cabin life and our mental skills program. Jenn is a USSF C Licensed youth soccer coach and the founder of Expand Your Game. She is passionate about helping young women find their voice, build resilience, and develop self-belief from the inside out. Her mission is to guide female athletes in prioritizing mental wellness and growing confidence.
