Joe Kahn Founder and CEO

Joe is the owner and founder of LINX Camps. If Joe had a superpower, he would want it to be manipulating time, presumably so he could fit more into a single, summer day. Joe loves the movie Shrek and enjoys doing skits around a campfire (although it is well known that his accents need work). Joe's wonderful memories of his camp experiences remind him all the time of the amazing impact camp has on children's lives and how important it is to make camp fun for both campers and staff.

Joe's wonderful memories of his camp experiences remind him all the time of the amazing impact camp has on children's lives and how important it is to make camp fun for both campers and staff. Before starting LINX, Joe worked as a financial consultant for KCI and worked for McKinsey & Co in Boston; he was the COO/CFO of an eldercare startup and did turnaround work as well. Drawing on his business experience, his passion for teaching and desire to help children expand their interests, Joe created an innovative enrichment environment first of classes and then of camps in which children explore and experience new things and learn along the way. He has proven that children learn and retain experiences most notably in a fun based environment, which is the hallmark of LINX Camps. Joe is a board member of Camp Casco, which provides free camp experiences for children with cancer. He holds an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School and a B.S.in Management, with a minor in Computer Science, from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Joe is married and the proud father of two daughters.
