Joe: This is my third summer as one of PVDC’s Camp Directors. I have a Masters Degree and Teaching Certification in Childhood Education (Grades 1-6), I also have a Students with Disabilities Teaching Certification (Grades 1-6). I am very excited to be working at camp this summer and I look forward to meeting all of the lovely parents/family member of our top notch campers.

Greg: This is my third summer as one of PVDC’s Camp directors. I graduated in 2010 from SUNY Cortland with a bachelors degree in Recreational Management. I look forward to having a fun and safe summer with our record breaking number of campers this year!

Special Events and BEADS!!!

Hello everyone!! I would like to take this time to officially introduce myself. My name is Tom Simmons and I am the Special Events for PVDC this summer. As a former PVDC Camper/CIT, Counselor and Head Counselor I am very excited to be back at PV!! And even more excited to introduce a new challenge/game we will be playing with all campers throughout the summer. For each activity at camp our specialist will be awarding the campers different color beads representing outstanding achievements they have made at that rotation. For examples: Campers who go above and beyond to keep our campus clean will be awarded the green bead! We believe this will be a lot of fun and will be a great tool in rewarding our campers for setting outstanding standards on behavior, teamwork, camp spirit and cleanliness. Looking forward to a great summer!!
-Tom
