Director’s Report

Staff Update and Throwback Pictures

Last summer we were able to claim that we had over 800 years of cumulative Kingswood experience on our staff. This summer we will surely top that figure since we are welcoming many Kingswood veterans to the staff as first time counselors. It speaks volumes about the strength of our community that virtually every counselor on staff this summer will either be a returning counselor or former camper and graduate of our CIT program. So, continuing last week’s report, we congratulate and welcome several more guys who will be joining us as counselors this summer. Here is how they looked several years ago, as young campers. Enjoy!

You'll certainly see Wiley on the trail this summer- he's one of the elite few who have achieved the "Presidential" level of the Varsity Hiking Club by all hikes on the board!
