YMCA Camp Coniston is excited to introduce Carter Bascom as its new Development Director. Carter was a camper beginning in 1998 and was a 2007 CIT. He spent several summers on staff from 2008 to 2012 and earned his 15th Coniston Triangle this summer when he returned as an Assistant Summer Camp Director after a 12 year hiatus.
During those 12 years, Carter was a Hut “Croo” member for the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) at Lonesome, Zealand, and Greenleaf Huts. He also worked as the Program and Special Events Director at the Outing Club in New London, NH. Carter joins us after spending the last 7 years with Four Seasons Sotheby’s International Realty bringing experience in sales, non-profit management, and leadership to his position at Coniston.
Coniston holds a special place in Carter’s heart. He’s especially grateful for the lifelong connections he’s made at Camp and is eager to give back to the community that supported him growing up. His goal is to ensure that every child has the opportunity to experience the magic of camp–just like he had.
Outside of Camp, he spends time hiking, biking, skiing, or traveling—and is always looking for new ways to explore the outdoors!
Carter grew up in New London, NH and holds a B.S. from the University of New Hampshire. He is looking forward to meeting and connecting with you and the entire camp community in the years ahead.
