Summer Staff: Where Are They Now?
Megan (Quigley) Eubank began attending camp as a Pioneer camper. In high school she started volunteering and was an LIT in 1996. Megan served on staff for six summers from 1997-2002. Megan was a cabin counselor, taught drama, led canoeing, was a lifeguard, and was the Assistant Program Director. One of Megan’s most impactful moments at camp was learning of God’s unmerited favor of grace through his Son, Jesus Christ. Learning of God’s grace and love changed Megan’s life. When she shares her faith journey, Megan always includes Camp Wyoming and the people there as being formative to her faith.
Since her time on staff, Megan has earned her Masters of Arts in Education and taught at the elementary and early childhood level. Megan and her husband Bret live in Kansas City, Missouri where they are raising their four sons: Brennan, Blaise, Micah, & Emmanuel (Manny).
