Favorite Camp Food: BBQ lunch Favorite Camp Activity: Singing around the Campfire!
I grew up in Wenatchee, and began attending Tall Timber in elementary school. I gave my life to Christ there during my second summer at camp. After high school, I attended and graduated from Whitworth College & Princeton Seminary. I then served churches in Ellensburg, Idaho, and now East Wenatchee as a Presbyterian pastor, always involved in camp ministry. I am married with three sons, and two grandsons.
What makes Camp special to you?
The majestic mountains, and the opportunity to retreat, disconnecting in order to reconnect with God, and other people.

Kat has been a dedicated supporter of Tall Timber for years, serving as a camper, summer staff, volunteer, and now board member. She is currently a high school band director in Eastern Washington. Kat’s husband, Kyle, and their son, Noah, are also active in camp life, helping out wherever they can. Deeply committed to camping ministry, Kat believes in its transformative power, fostering a deeper connection to faith through outdoor experiences.
What makes Camp special to you?
The people. You can feel God's love most powerfully in the ministry of hospitality. There is no greater Love than to lay down one's life for another.

Favorite Camp Food: Coffee Favorite Camp activity: Campfire
Being retired I enjoy volunteering with several nonprofit organizations. Helping groups and organizations create policy and process to help strengthen their growth is where I find the most personal value and interest.
What makes Camp special to you?
Tall Timber is a place where it is easy to see the beauty God has created in his creation. The welcoming and inclusive nature of people here is a direct reflection of God working in the world.
