Meet the Staff
Camp Supervisor Message
As we approach our 50th year as an organization, I can’t help but reflect on what an amazing summer we had last season. Despite the many obstacles we faced due to the ongoing pandemic, we were able to provide free of charge vacations to over 90 deserving campers, keeping their health and safety as our top priority. We welcomed Jim Moreland as our Director last year and Amanda Strunk as our assistant as I moved into a more ‘behind the scenes’ role as Camp Supervisor. Our kitchen staff was entirely new yet experienced and the counselors were positive, energetic and so careful to follow all of our COVID protocols in order to keep our campers healthy. It is an absolute privilege to open our doors again this season, our 50th year as a camp, with our continued mission intact.
There were so many changes last season, yet one important aspect stayed the same: the meaningful friendships, memories, and learning experiences we provided to our campers. We have all been learning how to effectively pivot these last few years and if it was not for the board, staff, families and our beyond generous donors and community, the Helen Diller Home would not be the organization it is today.
Thank you to everyone for supporting us throughout the many years our doors have been open, but especially when facing obstacles like what we dealt with last year and continue to navigate this upcoming summer. We are so excited for 2022!
Warm Regards,
Emily O'Donnell
