Caitlin Phillips

Camp Director

Caitlin grew up in North Carolina, where camping trips with her dad sparked a love for the outdoors that has shaped everything since. She was also a multi-sport athlete growing up — soccer, tennis, and more — developing the sense of community and personal growth that still defines her approach to working with kids.

She earned her Bachelor of Science from Appalachian State University, and it was there that an Outward Bound excursion introduced her to rock climbing and pointed her toward a life in outdoor education.

Caitlin launched her camp career in 2017 at an outdoor adventure residential camp in North Carolina, and after several seasons of dedicated camp work, followed her passion for the mountains to Colorado in 2021. Since 2021, Caitlin has been in a leadership role at Ajax Adventure Camp — and in 2026 became the Camp Director!

When she's not at camp, Caitlin is out chasing the next adventure — running, hiking, hydrofoiling, or wakesurfing — usually with her dog Scout close behind. She is beyond excited to make this summer the best one yet, helping every camper discover the joy of nature and go home with memories that last a lifetime.
