Your Facilitators
Lulu Rivera
co-directorI have over 25 years of experience in the fields of outdoor recreation, education, leadership, and personal development. I am also an artist and love to explore my creativity using different mediums. Over the years, I have found that my passion is combining both by crating experiences where people can learn, connect, and grow through real-world, hands-on experiences, preferably exploring their creativity in natural settings.
Lately, I have been working in organizational development, supporting teams in building collaborative relationships and fostering efficient, intentional communication for the continuous improvement of their organizations.
I’m an extrovert by nature; I love good conversations, whether they’re deep ones or the kind that make you laugh until your belly hurts. I believe those moments of connection are magical and where great transformations happen.
I am a nomadic Boricua, have lived all over the Island, recently based in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico.
Indira Martinez
co-directorI am a lifelong artist, published poet, professional event planner, and trained social worker. When I am not planning galas and art fundraisers in my day job, I am delivering workshops designed to help others tap into their innate creativity.
I first discovered my love for camp in 2016 while serving as a Youth Development volunteer in the Peace Corps, where I led my first multi-day camp for indigenous preteen girls in the mountains of Totonicapan. After witnessing the transformative power of structured recreation on these young leaders, I began taking every opportunity I could to integrate camp into my work.
In 2019, I received a dual Masters in Social Work and Public Administration from Columbia University.
Born in Camuy, Puerto Rico, I am currently based in Harlem, NYC.
