Brandon Koppelman first walked into Celebrate Me Week as a 7th grade camper back in 2003 — and never really left.

From that very first week, something shifted. He found a place where he was seen, celebrated, and reminded that he was lovable and capable just as he was. That experience left a mark, and he’s spent every year since finding ways to give that same feeling back to others.

Now serving as an Executive and Program Director, Brandon leads with heart, humor, and an unwavering belief in the power of camp to change lives. He’s met lifelong friends through this program — and, more importantly, chosen family. The mission of CMW isn’t just something he teaches… it’s something he lives.
