Our board of directors is comprised of over a dozen selected dedicated volunteers. They meet four times a year to review, discuss and plan the future. Learn more about them here.

The Coniston Ambassadors Program is a group of alumni and Coniston community members from around the country who represent Coniston in our larger communities and help keep others informed of Coniston’s vision. Ambassadors have the opportunity to be the first to know of updates and current events happening at Camp and are then able to pass on this information to the broader Coniston Community. Responsibilities of ambassadors range from organizing Coniston gatherings in their local area, raising awareness of Coniston events/fundraisers, and volunteering at check in days. If you are interested in becoming an ambassador reach out to jesse@coniston.org.

Parent Ambassadors are Coniston community members whose children have gone or are going to camp for a number of years. These ambassador help educate new Coniston parents on what camp is like from the parent perspective and the experience sending their children to camp. Having your child attend Camp is not just a new experience for your child but you as well. Parent Ambassadors also host events in their local area. If you are interested in the Parent Ambassador program email jesse@coniston.org.

In response to COVID-19 a Communications Committee was formed to support the communication needs for Camp. Without this committees support and hard work the Coniston Community would not be as well informed.

The committee is chaired by Board Member, Lynne Delise, and a group of highly talented communication and fundraising alumni. Members of the committee include:

Anna Kelsey, Grassroots Prospects Manager at Democratic National Committee
Liz Morris, MBA Candidate | The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth and Formerly the Assistant Director of Planned Giving for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Joe Whelan, Assistant Director of Development, Regional & Global Programs at University of Delaware, MBA Candidate

Coniston recognizes the world’s need for career-ready young professionals. In fact, many of the skills learned at camp translate very well to career readiness such as communication skills, emotional intelligence and situational awareness. Because of this realization, Coniston hosts Career Networking events to better serve our community. At these events Coniston invites established professionals to serve as panelists and round table hosts who share about their professional experiences and how Camp intersects this journey. We have hosted events in Boston and New York City and are excited for more events. If you are a parent or an alumni and are interested in being a career networking panelist or countable host please contact nicole@coniston.org.

Since 2009 Coniston has partnered with Hyperthem, an industrial cutting manufacturer based in Hanover, NH. In the Fall and Spring, volunteer groups from Hypertherm come and help us set up camp and with general maintenance around the property. We are incredibly grateful for the work that Hypertherm does for Coniston and they are crucial to help open and close the camp. Like Coniston, Hypertherm is committed to helping serve their local communities and we would like to thank them for volunteering with Coniston. If your business might be interested in exploring how you could partner with Coniston please contact us at jmcnair@coniston.org. 

Since 1995, Sherm Horton has served as our webmaster and guru of all things techy. Sherm was a camper and leader on staff before beginning his volunteer work with alumni in the early 1990s. His superior expertise and endless dedication allow Coniston to be at the forefront of the best technologies to help us get the most camp to the most kids.
