The People Behind Camp Denman

Rebecca holds a PhD from the University of California, Irvine, and has spent her career building creative and educational programs that bring people together around shared learning and meaningful work. She first arrived on Denman Island in 2004 and has been part of the island community ever since.

As Executive Director of Camp Denman, Rebecca leads programming, partnerships, and the overall vision for the campus. She also serves on the Board of Directors. Her work is guided by the belief that the most lasting creative experiences happen when people, place, and purpose come together with intention.

Sergio is a co-founder of e.ventures, a Brazilian-Canadian venture studio that has built and supported technology companies across both countries. He has spent more than two decades working at the intersection of technology, media, and entrepreneurship, with a focus on creative tools, digital infrastructure, and emerging AI workflows.

At Camp Denman, Sergio leads technology and infrastructure across the campus — from the network and studio systems to the digital platforms that support programs, partnerships, and day-to-day operations.

Mark is the founder of Lost Boys Studios and the Lost Boys School of Visual Effects, one of the most respected VFX training programs in the industry. Over the course of his career, his work and the work of his students has reached major film and television productions around the world.

Angela is a co-founder of e.ventures and brings deep experience in operations, hospitality, and community-centered work. Her background spans business development, event production, and the kind of detailed, human-focused coordination that makes complex programs feel seamless to the people inside them.

At Camp Denman, Angela leads operations across the campus — accommodation, meals, scheduling, logistics, and the overall participant experience — ensuring that every cohort and partner program is supported by an environment where creative work can take priority.

Tahiti is a long-time member of the Denman Island community and a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans performance, movement, culinary arts, herbalism, and permaculture. She is a founding member of the Inner Island Dance Collective and serves as Chef at the Denman Community School, where she creates daily meals for island children.

At Camp Denman, Tahiti leads performing arts and culinary programming — from the performance room and live showcases to the commercial kitchen and food-centered creative work — bringing a deep belief that creativity, nourishment, and connection to the land are part of the same practice.
