What have you been up to since Camp?
Since leaving camp in 1986 my whole career has been involved in building affordable housing. I work for a company called National Equity Fund that provides financing to developers and builders of affordable housing. I work from my home in Old Saybrook but travel up and down the east coast from Maine to Florida. I work with a lot of non-profit organizations working to house the homeless and young families struggling to make ends meet. I love my work and knowing that I am helping people every day.
What’s your favorite part about Camp?
I loved everything about Camp. We were all a big family and I have so many great memories. If I had to pick a favorite part it was probably evening campfire, but followed closely by songs after meals. When I was a staff member my favorite of day was taps, because the kids finally went to bed and staff got to hang out. I still feel close to my many friends from camp and look forward to our next camp reunion..
