Faith has been working in the office year-round since 2006. Her introduction to Gardom Lake was as a cabin leader in 1981. Faith loves helping people and welcomes all to drop by the office. Faith has been married to Phil since 1984 and they have been blessed with 4 great kids and their spouses as well.  Camp played a big role in the family over the years as each child moved from camper to staff and then on to various pursuits. Faith has just recently decided that it is time for her to move on to new things after 15 years!

Mark Griffin joined the team at Gardom Lake in 2016 as our Chef. He has worked in the food industry for more than half of his life! Mark is a Red Seal Chef and shares his culinary skills with our groups, campers and staff. The kitchen is often referred to as the “heart of the home” and this is no different at camp where the kitchen is constantly humming through the busy Spring, Summer, and Fall seasons. Mark and his wife Jody enjoy hiking, and outdoor activities.

Every spring our GLBC team grows significantly as we add our spring/summer leadership team into the mix. Our team is passionate about camp, outdoor education, and the development and implementation of our summer programs. This team is highly trained in all aspects of our program and is here to host your group, run your activities and do the many things that keep this camp running.

Gardom Lake is a camp, and we cannot run without the incredible group of people that volunteer their talents to make this place what it is. Cabin leaders, media techs, life guards, kitchen, maintenance, nurses, and music leaders, all come together to make our summer team.
