Darin Borgstadter- Executive Director

I'm honored to serve as the Executive Director of Mystic Lake Camp. After relocating from Oregon—where I worked at Oregon State University—I’m excited to be part of a place with such a strong tradition of impact and community.With over 30 years of experience in the overnight camping industry, I’ve had the privilege of working at some of the largest resident camps on the west coast. Camp has always been more than just a job for me—it’s a lifelong passion rooted in the belief that these experiences can truly change lives. My wife, Holly, and I—along with our dog, Gus, a lovable Greater Swiss Mountain Dog—are thrilled to be part of the Mystic Lake community. I’m also a proud father of two grown sons and a very lucky grandfather to Sophie (9) and Shane (7).

Casey Knott - Program Director

Since starting at Mystic Lake in 2016, I completely fell in love with the camp's programming and the opportunity to help campers discover new things about the natural world. That early experience sparked a deep passion for outdoor education that has stayed with me ever since. While working seasonally at camp, I earned my bachelor’s degree in Environmental Studies with a minor in Outdoor and Environmental Education from Central Michigan University. Over the years, I’ve served in a variety of roles—from outdoor education facilitator to summer camp counselor and, in 2019, Village Director. Even when I wasn’t on staff full-time, I stayed connected to camp by helping out on check-in days between 2022 and 2024.Now, I’m thrilled to be back at Mystic Lake as the Program Director. I can’t wait to welcome both returning and new campers, and to continue creating experiences that inspire confidence, curiosity, and lifelong memories.

As the first point of contact for campers, families, and staff, I’m dedicated to creating a welcoming and organized environment that helps everyone feel supported from the moment they arrive. My role involves managing daily operations, coordinating events, handling registrations and logistics, and keeping communication running smoothly. With a background in customer service and office administration, I approach each day with a focus on detail, efficiency, and care—always ready to tackle challenges and help things run seamlessly behind the scenes. I truly value the sense of community we build here at camp. Supporting an environment where teamwork, inclusivity, and personal growth thrive is incredibly important to me.

Trent Roush - Maintenance Director

Hi, I’m Trent Roush. I’ve been working in the building trades since shortly after graduating high school in 1991, and I’m proud to bring that experience to Mystic Lake Camp as part of the facilities team. My family and I recently relocated to this wonderful community from Indiana. My wife and I, along with our two sons, are enjoying the opportunity to be part of such a welcoming and active place. I’ve always loved working outdoors and have a real passion for raising livestock, so being in a camp setting feels like a perfect fit. I’m excited to help maintain and improve the spaces where campers learn, grow, and make lifelong memories. It’s an honor to support the mission of Mystic Lake Camp and be part of something that makes such a meaningful impact.
