Patrick (Pat) Hopkins started at OBYG in 2019 as an Assistant Art Director, rose to the roles of Head Counselor, yearbook editor, photo elective teacher, and now returns as the Director of the new Film & Photo Program! His experiences at OBYG has inspired him to become an art teacher. During the off-season, he works as a teacher’s aide in Dix Hills, New York.

Pat’s favorite aspect of camp is not only watching the campers grow up but to also witness them discover new interest, forge friendships, and learn something new everyday. He loves helping all the other program areas both in and out of Windswept and can’t wait to return in his new position!
