A Historic Gathering of Camp St. Croix Leadership

The “passing of the torch” is a tradition shared by many of our camps. Bringing together directors from the past, it is a chance to share wisdom about the job, a love for camp, and welcome in a new director.

For Dan O’Brien, current Executive Director of YMCA Camp St. Croix, “It felt remarkable to be in the same room with so many remarkable past leaders of the Camp St. Croix community. So much insight, so many strengths, so many stories.”

In meeting with the former directors, Dan shared that “they had lots of advice and stories. And that group has SO MANY connections to alumni. Those connections and relationship are so valuable as they tell the history of Camp St. Croix.”

Dan is excited to meet everyone in the Croix community and learn more about their connection to camp, whether it be Day Croix, Overnight Camp, Farm & Garden, Little Seeds, or school groups coming for outdoor education experiences.
