Meet James Williams, our amazing Summer Camp Program Director. James manages the Summer Camp Program, working closely with Executive Director Bart Geissinger, re-imagining, designing, and implementing innovative and relevant summer camp programming for our youth. "I am excited to be at Camp Washington's Summer Camp ministry, to add my passion and joy to the journey of helping others become their full, authentic, and transformed selves. I am a cradle-Episcopalian and have been engaged in the whimsical work of camp for 8 years. I grew up attending camp in the Diocese of Virginia, where I experienced a deep sense of belonging and community. At camp we find out together what is possible, do the hard/fulfilling work of growing in Christ's love, and HAVE FUN! Joy, safety, and community make growth inevitable - so there is no better place to be than camp! I am a continual advocate for justice in the world, and I've found no better foundation than the love I lived with at camp. I was born in Denver, CO, raised both there and in rural Virginia. I come from a family of 5 (I'm the youngest....) and after high school earned my bachelor’s degree from Goucher College. In addition to serving as Director of Summer Camp programs at Shrine Mont for the past two years, I have worked in jobs ranging rom legislative advocacy to being a Barista! In my personal life, I am dedicated to climate and social justice, love to rock climb, and travel.” From Executive Director Bart Geissinger, “I am so excited to have James at Camp Washington. His enthusiasm, skill set, faith, and joy for life are exactly the gifts we need currently, to help evaluate and build our summer camp programs. His camp and church experience benefits our community in many ways—our campers and staff have enjoyed and benefited from his leadership!” Email James at jwilliams@campwashington.org
MEET JAMES WILLIAMS
SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM DIRECTOR
Camp Washington has been nurturing exploration and transformation for over 100 years! Established in 1917, Camp Washington’s beautiful 300 acre campus in the Litchfield Hills welcomes people of all faith traditions to find God in nature, to relax and learn, to have fun and make life long friends! Camp Washington is the official camp and retreat center of the Episcopal Church in Connecticut.
We strive to create a community where children and staff, through teamwork, individual exploration and worship, can grow closer to God, as revealed in Jesus Christ. At Camp Washington we promote the enjoyment of nature through education and creativity, the strength of a community based on both togetherness and independence, and the ability to enable each person towards the recognition of their responsibility as stewards of God’s creation.
