Sid Milech has been the Director of the Y Country Camp since 1994, and was the recipient of Federation CJA’s 1998 award for Professional Excellence. Married to Elaine Wisenthal and the father of three children – who will all be staff at YCC this summer - Sid is himself a ‘graduate’ of Montreal Jewish camps. Aside from his extensive background in camping (former co-founder and co-director of Redwood Day Camp), Sid is past principal of JPPS and has also taught Jewish Studies at Bialik High School.

Stephen (Rabin) Rabinovitch, in his 3rd year as Associate Director, has actually spent the last 17 summers as a camper, counselor, supervisor, and Assistant Director at YCC. Stephen graduated from the University of Western Ontario (UWO) in 2001 with a degree in Political Science and in 2005 was awarded the Lori Stein Memorial Staff Award at the YMHA which recognizes outstanding leadership and dedication. Stephen’s attributes as a dedicated and creative camp administrator, and as the guiding force behind our annual Fashion Show Fundraiser, have made him an outstanding role model for our campers, counselors, and future leaders.
