Meet your Program Directors
Austin Cappelle, Program Director
Austin was a Camp One Step camper from 1984-1996 and started volunteering in 1997. His oncologist was Dr. Edward Baum, the founder of Camp One Step, who encouraged Austin to start coming to camp when he was just 5 years old. Austin has been a counselor for Summer Camp, Winter Camp, Family Camp, White Water Rafting (now Adventure Program), and the Utah Ski Program. He has been involved with the Seabees Leadership Program, both as a facilitator for Summer Camp and as a previous co-director for the program as well as being a Group Leader for Winter Camp. Currently he is one of the Program Directors for the Utah Ski Program and Adventure Program. He has also participated as a board member on camp’s Junior Board for Milwaukee and Chicago, and also volunteers for the Chicago Marathon and Poker fundraising initiatives.

Jon Collazo, Assistant Program Director
Jon happened upon Camp One Step while doing a random Google search and started volunteering in the summer of 2017. He has been a counselor and medical staff member and became one of the program directors for the Adventure Program in 2020. He has also volunteered for Sibling Camp, both Stepping Up and Excursion programs in Summer Camp, Dude Ranch, and Winter Camp. Jon said the atmosphere at camp is like nothing he’s ever seen before and that Camp One Step is like one big happy family he can’t get enough of!

Our Medical Team

Camp One Step’s Medical Director, Susie Burke, leads our volunteer medical team. The Camp One Step medical team is comprised of volunteer physicians and nurses who have a passion for working with children and adolescents who are or have experienced the challenges of a life threatening illness. Even though it is important to have staff with pediatric oncology experience, we also welcome staff with other clinical backgrounds such as general pediatrics, adult oncology, emergency, and ICU to name a few. The medical staff work closely together in teams to address the medical needs of each camper. Our goal is to promote the health and well-being of the campers in an atmosphere of fun.
More Camps. More Fun.
