Welcome Message
Phillip, Director
My association with Camp Wachusett spans more than 40 years, beginning as a ten year old camper in 1976. Subsequently, I have risen through the ranks in nearly every position on staff, gaining the total camp experience. Now as owner and director, I am able to utilize my camp background to nurture a fun and safe environment for boys to explore our many outdoor activities and to develop new skills. Like our other senior staff members, I have a teaching background: fifth through eighth grade math at a small private school.
