Jane and Dan Kagan
Owners/Directors
Jane and Dan have been the Directors at LBMC for almost three decades. As the parents of three daughters who all grew up at camp and the proud grandparents of a Bryn Mawr Angel (plus three grandsons!), they have been immersed in camp from every perspective.
Jane’s connection to Bryn Mawr started before she was born. Her mother was a camper in the 1940s and taught the Kagan girls the Alma Mater. Jane spent over 25 years at Jeff Lake Day Camp, owned by her family, and expanded their legacy to Bryn Mawr. Whether she is reading a bedtime story, serving meals in the Dining Hall, playing pickleball, or taking a peaceful nighttime walk under the stars, Jane is dedicated to creating a meaningful experience for every camper.
Dan is a lifelong camper mentored by the legendary Morry Stein, former Director of Camp Echo Lake. A graduate of the University of Arizona with an MBA from Fordham, Dan has served as a board member for the Wayne County Hospital, Project Morry, and the American Camping Association. He is a past president of the Wayne County Alliance of Camps. During the summer, you’ll find Dan taking photos, playing gaga, and most importantly, chatting with campers as he walks his beloved dog, Bryn!
Together, Jane and Dan are passionate about creating a summer home for campers and staff!
Eliza Kagan Assistant Director
Email Eliza 
Say hello to the second generation of Kagan leadership at LBMC. Eliza has spent nearly every summer of her life at camp, growing from a spirited camper to a dedicated leader. She brings boundless enthusiasm, a deep love for camp traditions, and a fresh perspective that allows LBMC to evolve while staying true to its core values.
During the summer, Eliza is everywhere- playing silly games with junior campers, leading spirited special events, challenging senior campers to tennis matches, and welcoming prospective campers during tours and Explorers Weekend. She also runs our LIT (Leaders in Training) Program—helping to transition former campers into a staff role at camp! Her energy is infectious, and her commitment is unparalleled.
When the camp season ends, Eliza’s work continues. Throughout the year, she visits with new families, sharing the magic of LBMC with future campers. She manages our social media and advertising, helps with staff recruiting, and sets up the calendar- managing outside entertainers & special events, overnight trips, and daily programming at camp!
A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, Eliza majored in communications and served as president of her sorority. She also earned her MBA from Rutgers, which gave her the skills to lead LBMC with heart and strategy. With camp in her blood, she is proud to carry on the Kagan name and shape the future of LBMC for the next generation.

A vital part of our year-round team, Jocelyn is the heart of our staff recruiting and hiring process, ensuring that each summer is full of dedicated, passionate counselors.

Three years later, she joined us full-time; her journey continued and ultimately led to her current role as Associate Director.
During the summer, Jocelyn is the steady, reassuring presence on Cabin Row. She knows every camper and ensures each one feels seen, heard, supported, and cared for. At bedtime, you will find her walking through cabins offering warm smiles and goodnight hugs—small moments that make a big difference for our campers.
Jocelyn is a graduate of George Washington University where she studied sociology and psychology and later earned her law degree from Brooklyn Law School. She spent 20 years supporting families as a college and graduate school consultant before bringing her love for camp and expertise to LBMC.
Above all, Jocelyn is a devoted camp leader, a trusted mentor, and an integral part of our leadership team. She and her husband, Jeremy, are the proud parents of three daughters, who have all been Bryn Mawr Angels.
