Dear BYM Camps Staff, Past & Present:

One of my top priorities as Program Manager of BYM Camps is to connect with and engage our incredible community of current and former staff. But for that to happen, I need to know how to reach you!

There unfortunately is not a comprehensive database of all BYM Camps Staff, especially if you worked for Catoctin, Opequon, Shiloh, or Teen Adventure before 2016. Please use the form below to share with me your contact information, so that I can connect and engage with all of y'all, in whatever ways you want. I promise to use your contact information sparingly and appropriately, and to always give you the option to increase or decrease the amount of communication that you receive.

Please fill out this form even if you think I already have your contact information!

As a teaser of what kinds of engagement are to come this fall, here's what I can say:

- I plan to launch a quarterly newsletter for the BYM Camps Community of staff, alumni, supporters, and friends of all kinds.

- I plan to create and launch the BYM Camps Alumni Council, and will formally request the participation of any of you who are interested. Building new pathways for folks who know about and care about these camps to help shape their future is very important to me. The Alumni Council will be an informal and advisory body, made up of former staff, and the nature of its work -- how it operates, what parts of the program it focuses on, etc. -- will be very much shaped by its members.

- I hope to have many more joyous events at the BYM Camps properties, throughout the year, on a regular cycle, to gather and celebrate, to which all would be invited.

You'll have the opportunity to opt-in to the newsletter, and to express interest in the Alumni Council, in the form below. But at the very least, as a start, please share your contact information! And then we'll move forward from there.

Lastly, please forward this far and wide! To anyone who worked for BYM Camps in the 2010s, in the 2000s, in the 1990s, in the 1980s, or even before! Bit by bit, we'll build this right.

Hit me up with any questions, comments, or concerns.

Peace,
Brian
