Eric Bloomberg, Caretaker 

This is Eric's 8th year as camp Caretaker.  During that time he has made sure that everything at camp is in tip top shape for our use and enjoyment.  When it comes to building new or repairing old there is nothing Eric can't do!  During the summer Eric helps the theatre staff construct the musical sets and teaches a building course for older campers.  Our camp community is lucky to have him as a part of our team.  He and is wife Jill live in Fryeburg, ME.
