Jim Airo, Camps Director
Jim Airo brings eight years of teaching experience in the local elementary and middle schools, as well as a decade+ of running children’s camps. In addition to his summer-time duties as Camp Director, during the academic school year he also holds a position as a 5th and 6th grade teacher and is a member of his school’s leadership committee.
Airo’s degree in Liberal Studies and teaching credential for NC, along with minors in Special Education and Psychology, and awards in Classroom Management for Special Ed, contribute greatly to making him something of a Pied Piper – his ability to work and connect with both younger and older children, ensure that Camp Shoreline and the other water sports camps are a success and meet the expectations of both children and parents
The care and discipline Airo brings from running a classroom, and as a father of four, are fundamental to his ability to monitor each camp closely and facilitate the success of all scheduled activities. His follow-through, approachability, visibility throughout the day and supervision contribute to a smoothly-run environment that allows campers to enjoy days full of lessons and fun and to show off what they have learned.
Managing a staff of 30 (whom he recruits based on their experience teaching or working with children), he is also the go-to person for parents, ensuring their satisfaction in regard to camp operations, child safety, and educational rigor.

Christina Ferrari, President
Christina Ferrari took over operation of the Shoreline Aquatic Center and the Lakeside Café in April 2000. Due to her active management, and substantial investment in enhancing and developing the facilities, grounds, equipment and programs, she has nurtured Shoreline into what it is today. Her leadership and vision transformed an unprofitable, spartan operation, which was overly-dependant on seasonality, into a viable, year-round business, for both the Aquatic Center and the Lakeside Café.
Ferrari’s love of a challenge and ability to spot a diamond in the rough have been particularly useful skills in meeting her overall goal of establishing Shoreline as a civilized respite in Silicon Valley for locals and area workers. Her energy and high standards stoke the fire that keeps the momentum going, all to the benefit of Shoreline’s devotees.
In addition, Ferrari’s in-depth operational knowledge and experience are instrumental in helping the Shoreline team to take on events (big or small, corporate or private), develop and expand upon the recreational programs that allow adults and children to progress from beginner to more advanced participants, as well as continue enhancing the amenities that provide an urbane experience in nature.
Ferrari is a graduate of the University of San Diego, holding a BBA degree with an emphasis on international business, and has attended both the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco and l’École Lenôtre in Paris, France. She is completing final coursework to achieve the highest honor of culinary achievement, Le Grande Diplôme.
