Be Like John

John Estes is one of those staff members who is a sort of connective tissue, keeping former staff members tied together.  He joined the Craig Activity Yard back in 1983, went on to become AY Director, and also Waterfront Director.  1988 was his last year on staff, but has served on multiple Staff Reunion teams and has been a leading force in Round Tuit weekends.  An Eagle Scout, John Estes was involved in the program as an adult leader when his own kids came up through the ranks.

Be Like Ed

Ed Mason is one of those rare staff members who has had two runs, decades apart. Originally, a Parnell staff member in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Ed returned to Boxwell in more recent years to work on the Boat Harbor and currently as Stahlman’s Camp Director.  He’s an Eagle Scout, a recipient of the Latimer award, and a retired police officer.

Be Like Jacob

Jacob Crawford is one of those staff members who isn’t a big flashy program person, but gets things done!  He joined the Stahlman waterfront in 2017 and became the director in 2019.  He stayed on there for a few years and can be found out at camp regularly now, just doing jobs that need to be done. In fact, he just spent summer 2024 as a temporary ranger!  Oh, and he brought the ice cream machine to the staff ice cream socials.  🙂
