About Dan Schmitz

With over 25 years of experience in the camp industry, I am the owner of KE Camps, the leading provider of children\'s summer camps for country clubs. My mission is to create unforgettable memories and enriching experiences for thousands of campers every year. I have a background in hospitality and event planning, and a deep understanding of the needs and expectations of club members and managers. I value quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction, and I strive to foster a culture of excellence, teamwork, and fun among my staff and partners. Since 2010, we have grown KE Camps from a small operation with three club camps in Las Vegas to a national network of over two hundred and fifty camps in thirty-eight states. I have established long-term relationships with hundreds of clubs, and secured multiple contracts with prestigious organizations such as Invited and Troon. We have also received the Excellence in Achievement Award for Club Program of the Year by Boardroom Magazine for eight consecutive years.
