Camp Director Hired!
The board is delighted to welcome Mike Miosi from Raleigh, North Carolina to come back to the area to serve as our next camp director. Mike grew up in Lycoming County (where Susque is located) through his high school year. Mike later attended Bible college and seminary, served as church planter and pastor, as well as mental health counselor relating to youth and families. Mike has a great attitude and spirit to take on this challenge. We who have begun to know Mike and his wife are excited to have them join the camp family.

Mike will be joined by his wife Kristina and three children: Josiah (8), Kayla (4), and Ella Grace (3).

These have been challenging months, but made possible by many wonderful volunteers to help bridge the gap along with Shawna Hakes (our faithful office manager) and Ann Swift our long term camp director returning to fill the role as interim director. Thanks to everyone who has helped!

With a great returning summer staff, and new year round staff, we expect a bright future under the gracious hand of our Lord.

Tim Bryant, Chairman, Susque Board of Directors

Facilities Manager Hired
Camp Susque is pleased to announce that Gary Barclay has joined the ministry as Facilities Manager.   Gary, and his wife Nancy and their two children, Chad and Hannah, currently reside in Home, PA (near Indiana PA). 

Gary has extensive carpentry experience in residential and commerical construction. His background also includes years of experience as a facility manager for two non-profit organizations. He has a bachelors degree in Community Ministry from Geneva College and has served on various church boards and as a 4-H volunteer. 

Nancy is a registered dental hygienist. She has been active in their church and 4-H. Together they have homeschooled their two children. Chad just finished his first year at PSU majoring in Wildlife Technology and Forestry. Hannah also just completed her first year of college and is currently hoping to transfer to Lock Haven University to study Business.

Gary and his family are excited for the opportunity to serve God and join the ministry here.  

Program Director Hired
The Board of Directors has approved the selection of Scott Pershall as Susque’s new Program Director.  Scott is a not a new name to Susque.  He has been a popular counselor for Boys Camp, retreats and a support staff worker.  2008 will be his 6th summer at Susque.  We often hear comments from parents about how Scott has been a real friend and excellent role model for their sons.  His friendships extend past the actual camping season.

For the past three years, when not at Susque, Scott has been teaching middle school science and social studies at an American school on the north coast of Africa, encouraged by seeing God work in the lives of students, friends, and coworkers.

The Personnel Committee saw Scott has a person with long-term Susque knowledge and loyalty, good communication skills and the team-player capacity to complete the Susque administrative team.

Camp Susque is pleased to announce that we now support on-line summer registration.  From on-line credit card payments, through our secure credit card processing system, to e-mailed invoices, Camp Susque has entered the 21st century.    You can find more information about on-line registration, as well as begin the registration for your child by clicking on 'Summer Camps' on the menu at the left.  From there, select a camp to read more about it, or choose 'On-Line Registration' to begin your secure on-line registration.     Traditional paper registration is still available, for those who wish to register that way (at this time we can NOT take credit card payments through paper registration).  We look forward to seeing you, this summer!
