Meet the Staff
Summer Staff:
Since 1944, Camp Brookwoods has been blessed with an incredible diverse staff. We draw this capable group from leading colleges and universities across the country including Princeton Theological Seminary, Wheaton College, Cornell University, Georgetown, LeTourneau University, Gordon College, Harvard University, Grove City College, Cedarville University, Notre Dame, Grace College, Taylor University, Liberty University, Biola University, and many others. Approximately 85% of the staff return each year which ensures a stable core group and brings in fresh ideas each year. Each year the staff complete a 10 day training period prior to each summer. All high risk areas are supervised by staff members who have received certification and training in those specialty areas. All staff members who work with the campers have also received first aid and CPR training.
Keep this team in your prayers as they serve our campers and guests with every talent that God has entrusted to them.
David Strodel, Brookwoods Director
Heading up the summer program, David has been the Brookwoods Director since 1982; a second generation Camp Director. When not busy in the woods of New Hampshire, David has served on Faculty at Browne & Nichols school in Cambridge, Massachusetts for the past 29 years. This educational background is infused with the Brookwoods camp philosophy that skills are taught at camp, and that excellence is rewarded. David and his wife, Joan, live in Lexington, Massachusetts with their children , Rachel and Daniel.
George Bowling, Tripping Director
One of the most central areas at camp is our Tripping Program. George Bowling supervises a large Tripping Staff that will take each cabin on an overnight hike or canoe experience every two weeks at camp. George's personal outdoor skills are legendary; he can even start a fire in the rain with a bag of Doritos! George's wife, Mary Beth, directs Camp Deer Run for girls. Their daughters, Tennessee and Savannah enjoy attending Deer Run.
Steve Aldrich, Facilities Director
Steve started as our food service director in 2008 and took over for Dave Gleason in 2011 as our Facilities Director after Dave's retirement. Now Steve will be cooking up a storm keeping our facility in tip top shape. He and Mike Brigham can be seen around camp in some of the oddest place such as shoveling snow from the top of Moose Hall. 
Mary Lefebvre, Registrar
When you call camp, you will probably have the chance to talk to Mary. She knows it all having her son and daughter attend Brookwoods and Deer Run. If you want to know what really goes on at camp, from a parental prospective, talk to Mary!
Bob Strodel, Executive Director and Debbie Strodel, Bookkeeper
Peter Blatchley, Director of Core Services
Peter and his wife Lois have three children that have all been part of Brookwoods. Peter is working his core to keep all parts of camp in shape.
Mike Brigham, Facility Staff
Mike has been a fun part of the full time staff since 2000. He has two interesting hobbies; car collecting and taking care of strange cats.
