MESSAGE FROM THE CAMP DIRECTOR

Greeting Friends of Squanto,

Another summer camp season is upon us after the longest school year I can remember. I've learned over the years that promoting, planning, and running a camp as large as Camp Squanto takes a total team effort from many people. I'm extremely thankful to have great council support, alumni assistance, and returning staff members always eager to lend a hand. We like our appearance to be that of a "well oiled machine", but many hours of pre-camp work are needed to push us to strive for higher standards.

As I enter my 15th year on the Camp Squanto staff I remain full of pride in what we are fortunate to have in Old Colony Council. Our staff members that return year after year welcome new faces and bridge tradition with new ideas. Some of our senior staff members include, Steve Goveia, Bill Webb, Emily Baird, Gary Hyman, Austin Glass, Wendy Dawson, Marie Fahey, and Tom Rimer…….people who understand our program and conduct themselves professionally. Ranger Roland, as always, prefers to work tirelessly behind the scenes. He is a unique Ranger to work with as he cares deeply about safety AND camp program.

Welcome to camp if you're currently spending the week with your troop. If you're instead at home reminiscing about days past lounging under the pines in your favorite campsite, cheering on the Apache Relay, or going for an afternoon swim, then please come down and walk the camp. It's your camp and you're always welcome.

Elliot J. Glass
Camp Director
