CAMP CONNOR
Dear Parent/Guardian,
My name is Chris Reed and I am the new Sports/Camp Director at
the Auburn/Lewiston YMCA. I would like to take this opportunity
to introduce myself.
I am a graduate of Edward Little High School. I played baseball
at the University of Southern Maine and Central Connecticut St.
University. I hold a B.A. in Organizational Management with a
minor in Sports and Recreation Management. I have many years of
combined coaching and education experience which I will draw on
for camp this summer. I recently received my Camp Director
certification through the YMCA conference in Worcester,
Massachusetts. Joining me as Certified Directors are:
Sara Thistle (Assistant Camp Director), Dave Tirabassi
(Programming Director) and Joline Dubuc (Waterfront
Director).
I am enthusiastically anticipating a great summer at Camp Connor
and embrace the opportunity to lead the effort to create a
summer’s worth of fun, adventure and memories for your children.
I am equally enthusiastic in regards to my management staff and
counselors and their abilities and initiative. We have a
well-prepared and creative agenda planned for the summer of
2012. We are extremely confident that we will provide your
children an experience that will leave them wanting more as we
build on the proud tradition that has developed over decades.
Understanding how important your children are to you and the
importance of finding comfort in their care, I will operate with
an open door policy. I have also attached a Camp Behavior
contract that will detail the expectations the YMCA adheres to
in making every effort to provide a safe a nurturing environment
for your children. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any
concerns or questions you may have.
We invite you to join us on the following dates:
Camp Clean-Up Day: May 19, 2012 9am-12pm. Clean-up
day is an opportunity to reinforce the concepts of volunteerism
and community service to your children while taking a bit of
ownership of your camp experience. As an expression of our
gratitude will be hosting a free cookout at 12pm for our
volunteers. Please contact me if you are planning to attend.
Open House/ Meet the Staff: June 9, 2012 10am- 1pm.
This is an opportunity to tour the facilities prior to opening
as well as meet the staff who will be leading your children.
I look forward to meeting you all and appreciate the opportunity
to provide your children a summer to remember. Take care.
Respectfully-
Chris Reed
Director Camp Connor
