A Message from the Camp Director

A Message from the New Camp Director
Reprinted from the Feb. 2012 issue of "The Messenger"

© Trevor 2011As the new camp director of the Fryeburg New Church Assembly, I am eager to share new and exciting program developments from our Summer Session Committee (SSC) meeting in January. But first, since I am new to this position, here is a quick sketch of myself. I live in eastern Massachusetts with my wife Beki and our one-year-old daughter Serena. I am a seventh grade math teacher, with coaching and refereeing kids' sports on the side. I started coming to the FNCA about five years ago with Beki (my then girlfriend) and haven't missed it since.

© Trevor 2011First and foremost, we are pleased to announce that chef Bobby Abesamra will return to camp this summer. Bobby was a fantastic addition to our camp last summer and we are ecstatic to have him return.

© Trevor 2011Our camp registrar, Nancy Little, created an online survey asking campers about their camp experiences last year. The SSC takes everyone's comments, both positive and negative, into account to make improvements for the following year. Campers especially enjoyed many of the evening programs, the Afternoon Book Club, the adult discussion group after lectures, and many impromptu games. (Thank you Nancy for your hard work creating and managing this survey.)

© Trevor 2011With thanks to our religious program coordinator, Rev. Susannah Currie, we would also like to announce the lecture themes for this year's session:
Week 1 (doctrinal theme) "Memorable Relations and How They Speak to Daily Life"
Week 2 (Biblical theme) "Descent of the Holy City". Brief write-ups about the themes are on the Lecture Themes page.

If you have not yet experienced the FNCA, or are looking to make a return, I invite you to come experience a piece of paradise for all ages. The 2012 session of the FNCA will begin Saturday, August 4 and run through Sunday, August 19. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at <jgreenwood@fryeburg.org>. I look forward to seeing you all again or meeting you for the first time!
