Our Team

Behind every summer at Cub Creek Science Camp is a dedicated year-round staff. Throughout the year, our team prepares programs, cares for our animals, supports camp families, maintains Bear River Ranch, recruits and trains seasonal staff, and plans the countless details that make each summer possible. During camp, our year-round staff provides leadership and support for more than 100 seasonal staff members as they create an unforgettable experience for our campers.

Meet Our Year-Round Staff

Scott & Lori Martin

Founders, Owners & Executive Directors

Scott and Lori Martin are the founders, owners, and Executive Directors of Cub Creek Science Camp. When Lori founded Cub Creek in 1993, her vision was to create a camp where every child could feel loved and valued, and know that they belong. More than three decades later, that remains at the heart of Cub Creek.

Today, Scott and Lori provide year-round leadership for Cub Creek and Bear River Ranch. Cub Creek remains a truly family-run camp; their daughters, Mikayla and Jamie, grew up at Cub Creek and are now actively involved in running the camp alongside their parents.

As Cub Creek's owners, Scott and Lori believe families should understand the values from which the camp is operated. Cub Creek Science Camp is not a religious camp and does not currently offer religious programming or activities. However, the owners' personal beliefs and the Christian worldview that informs their values and leadership are explained in their Christian Worldview statement.

Christine Watson

Office Manager

As Cub Creek's Office Manager, Christine helps keep camp's year-round operations running smoothly. She assists families with camper registration, answers questions, and helps them prepare for a successful summer at camp.

Christine's connection to Cub Creek began in 2010 when she joined the summer staff as a Cabin Counselor. She later met her husband, Nick, at camp in 2013. Before returning to Cub Creek, Christine spent more than a decade working in the classroom and helping students achieve their goals.

With her background in education and years of camp experience, Christine understands both children and the questions families have as they prepare for camp. She enjoys supporting campers and their families throughout the summer and during the off-season.

Nathan Davolt

Program Director

As a Program Director, Nathan oversees the Boys Village, several camp activity areas, and staff recruitment and hiring. He enjoys working with both campers and staff and helping them develop the confidence, habits, and skills they need to become strong leaders.

Nathan and his wife, Karrie, have been part of the Cub Creek family for several years and have eight children. His love of learning, words, and creativity extends beyond camp; he has even written a picture book for his children.

At Cub Creek, Nathan especially enjoys encouraging others to grow into what he describes as “today's leaders and tomorrow's heroes.”

Mikayla Martin

Summer Camp Director

As Summer Camp Director, Mikayla helps oversee the day-to-day camper experience at Cub Creek. She works closely with our year-round and summer leadership teams to support campers and staff, solve problems, and help ensure that every child has a safe, positive, and memorable experience at camp.

Having grown up at Cub Creek, Mikayla brings more than two decades of camp experience to her role. Over the years, she has experienced camp from nearly every perspective, including as a camper, counselor, Special Events Coordinator, and Program Director. Today, she also oversees our team of Camper Advocates, who provide additional support to campers adjusting to camp, experiencing homesickness, or simply needing someone to help them navigate a challenge.

Mikayla holds a Master of Education in Human Development Counseling and has professional experience working with children and families in both school and private-practice settings. Before returning to Cub Creek full-time, she worked as a Licensed School Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado, primarily serving children and families in the military community. Her counseling background and lifelong camp experience help her understand, support, and connect with campers as they grow in confidence and independence.
