Directors’ Message
Dear Camp Families,
We hope all of you are enjoying the start of
spring. Change in seasons reminds us that summer
is right around the corner. The summer of 2016 will
be here before we know it!
Winter flew by as Tony met with new camp
families throughout the country from New
England and Greater New York to South Florida,
Southern California and many cities in between.
We are so excited for new campers to join us for
an amazing summer in Vermont! Thank you to the
O’Connor Family who hosted the Lochearn Winter
Gathering in February. It was wonderful seeing so
many campers, CTs, and parents at the O’Connor
home in New Canaan, Connecticut.
We greatly enjoyed hosting the annual Spring
Summit at the winter office in Gainesville, Florida.
As a leadership team, we reflected on the successes
of 2015, and looked at what we can do to make
Lochearn even stronger this summer. It always
goes back to our amazing campers and how
honored we are to have the opportunity each year
to watch our campers grow.
The entire Lochearn team is so excited to celebrate
the 100th summer on Lake Fairlee. We are looking
forward to Lochearn Alumni joining us to tell
stories and to sing our favorite Lochearn songs on
campfire hill. As a camp, we will celebrate
Lochearn’s 100th birthday throughout each session.
This summer is sure to be a special one that we will
all remember for years and years to come.
We are thrilled that many of our instructional and
support staff are returning for another great
summer. We can’t wait to see you in Vermont!
Happy Camping!
Lochearn is now a proud partner of:
Spring 2016
Staff Spotlight
It’s been an amazing year of staff hiring. We are so
excited to welcome many new staff members to the
Lochearn family, and to have so many returners from
2015.
Coach Aldo Santiago will be gracing the tennis
courts with his stellar warm-up and practice routines
once again! Aldo’s love and passion for the game of
tennis is contagious. The courts will be filled with
laughter and excitement.
Many campers will recognize another familiar face
at Lochearn this summer. Adrienne Jensen-Doray is
thrilled to be getting back in the saddle as the head of
the riding program. For the past two years, Adrienne
has enjoyed working as the Assistant Director of
Student Activities at Union College in Schenectady,
NY, overseeing student clubs and leadership
development activities. This will be Adrienne’s sixth
summer running the Lochearn Riding program.
We are very happy to announce Sarah Beulink and
Ashley Davis as the CT Campus Leaders this summer!
Franny David, Maggie Brummer and Hannah Dailey
will be returning as Senior, Sub-Senior and Junior
Campus Leaders. Ruth Potter will be returning to lead
the climbing program, and Chloe McDonnell will be
back as the head of the athletics program! Morgan
Riley will continue to be our fearless leader of OAP.
Lori Earle will be back as the Parent Liaison and
helping with the swimming program, and Beth Field
will be the glue that holds together the arts program!
Logan Trask: Head of Theatre
Birthplace: Nashua, New Hampshire
School: Case Western Reserve University
Activities taught in 2015: Singing, Theater, and
Summer Reading
Fun Fact about yourself: I live in Danvers, MA, the
original Salem Village, where the witch trials
happened.
Not-so-secret Passions: Songwriting!
Fav Camp Dish: Any dish where hash browns or tater
tots are involved.
Fav Camp Song: "Home." Nothing is more beautiful
than singing it on campfire hill during the pine cone
ceremony.
Fav Camp Activity: Performing Arts Night!
Fav Memory of Lochearn: Singing the song I wrote
for camp and having the whole camp sing along with
me. I felt so connected and loved.
Logan’s Advice to
new members
of the Lochearn Family:
It’s okay to be nervous and
even a little scared, but
trust me, you got this! Make
sure to try new things and
don’t be afraid of failing or
looking silly (in fact I would
encourage you to be silly on
purpose). Camp is a place
for being yourself and for
learning that there is more
to yourself than you ever
thought possible.

News
When you arrive at Lochearn this summer, you’ll notice
several awesome upgrades to many program areas. The
arts studios have been painted and redesigned with new
tables and work areas. Campers taking riding will now be
able to store their riding boots and helmets in individual
cubbies at the barn. On the waterfront, waterskiiers and
wakeboarders will enjoy a new Malibu ski boat.
