FROM THE RESERVATION DIRECTOR...
I wanted to take a moment and reach out with a strong THANK YOU for all that you did to make the 2018 Summer Camp season at J N Webster a success. It takes a team effort to pull off summer camp and we did it. The support that the Friends of Webster gave - financial, manpower, and other support - took what was good and made it great. We had Scouts this summer attend JNW from all over New England, New York, Delaware, Arizona, and Florida. In particular, I would like to thank my immediate JNW family, the staff members I work with the closest with, for your good work, support, and attitude that service is more important than self. I would not be able to do what I do without Deputy Director John “Hoss” Haskell;Assistant Directors Dave Thurz, Nick Walezczyk, and Tom Sinkewicz; Chief Health Officer Gus Haskell; Base Camp Director Tony Perreault; Cub Country Director Eugene “Chip” Goss; and Food Service Director John Ayer.
To the FOW and Alumni - make no mistake about it - it is YOUR Donations, YOUR time volunteering at camp, and YOUR staying connected that makes all the difference.
We are only as good as our last campfire and I look forward to working with each and every one of you in 2019. After all, it’s only a short time ‘til #SummerCamp2019.
Pat Boyd
