WE ARE TALL TURF

Meet Our Year Round Staff!

I have been involved with Tall Turf my whole life. I love the staff, the site, and the campers. For me, Tall Turf is the embodiment of what it means to be a Christian - reconciling with God, nature, others, and ourselves.

Site Manager Emeritus

Our family has been involved in the mission of Tall Turf since its inception. Harold (and Norene) Botts (my in-laws) were on the original board. Suki, my wife, started working at Camp in 1970. My first summer at Camp was 1974 after “marrying” in to Camp in 1973. Our 3 children have volunteered or worked at Camp since they were kids and our son David is the Site Manager now. For over 50 years our family has supported the ministry and mission of Tall Turf—by working in maintenance, kitchen, waterfront, cabin counselors and administration. There is no place on earth I would rather be than working for the ministry and mission of Tall Turf.

I am married with four adult children. I enjoy cooking, reading and spending time with my grandchildren, family and friends. My favorite part of camp is during summer camp.
