Nathan Puckett Leaving

Kali and Nathan pause for a check-in at Workbee.

Nathan has been the "face" of summer camp this last year as parents visited the Settlement in Chicago to register their children for summer camp. He has worked to set up a system that makes it easier for parents to register and for staff to get the information they need to set up cabin groups and care for the health needs of our campers.

He started here in Spring of 2013 as a cabin counselor with our Rowe Elementary School Outdoor Education Program. Since then, he has helped in all areas of camp--transportation, discipline, parent communication, website design, office work and assistance in cabins and programs when needed.
