This hardworking crew, while small, makes up for it in quality and experience – they have more than 50 years of combined Camp experience, and they strive every day to reach and exceed the enormous expectations of a Camp Gray experience for each and every person that steps foot on the Camp Gray property.
A graduate of Xavier University with a degree in Organizational Communication, Jeff enjoys kayaking, building wooden boats, working with fiberglass, backpacking, and cross country skiing. He worked at Camp Gray as a part of the Servant Leadership Team in 2003-2004 and once volunteered with the Missionaries of Charity in Katmandu, Nepal. Jeff oversees all of Camp’s operations and loves spending time with his wife Rebecca and their three kids!
Tim hails from Oregon, Wisconsin and his first interaction with the Gray was as a camper in 2001. After that he was hooked! Tim served on summer camp staff from 2005-2011 and served on the SaLT missionary team from 2007-2009. After his time here he was a high school theology teacher, worked in campus ministry at the University of Kansas, and most recently worked for FOCUS helping to plan their yearly conferences. He enjoys spending time with his wonderful wife Lauren (herself a summer staffer from 2007-2011!) and their five children John Paul, Charlie, Ellie, Thomas, and Jude. When not doing all things camp, Tim likes to read, dabbles in woodworking, and is often found sipping coffee in the great outdoors.
Ben is a native of the Wisconsin area. While he grew up in Cross Plains and graduated from UW-Madison, he’s traveled all over. He’s visited the luscious rolling mountains of Tennessee as well as the sweet-scented lavender fields of France. If Ben isn’t off wandering in the woods somewhere, you can often find him climbing, woodworking, or snorkeling. Ben is full of wild ideas and these come in handy at Camp Gray. He helps with many of the projects as Camp continues to grow. We are very thankful for all the work he’s done and continues to do!
Andrew hails from the great state of Kansas and graduated from Kansas State University with a degree in math education. As opposed to being confined to a classroom, Andrew decided to join us and teach kids the joys of Christian life in the woods! When he’s not helping campers matriculate through Camp Gray you can find him golfing, playing his guitar, and dabbling in Mediterranean cuisine. Camp Gray is better with Andrew Cunningham!
Hailing from Brodhead, WI, Kate is no stranger to Camp Gray. While in college – Kate is a 2010 graduate of Loras College in Dubuque, IA – she served on our Summer Camp Staff for three summers. During her first summer on staff, she was a part of the Camp Gray Kitchen Crew. While Kate has served in several other capacities during her time at Camp Gray, she loves the challenge and joy of providing our campers, retreatants, rental groups, and staffers with delicious and nutritious food. When Kate isn’t whipping up amazing food for Camp Gray, she enjoys hiking, playing sports, and simply being out of doors. She loves enjoying the beauty of creation, especially with friends.
When there are 225 acres, dozens of buildings, a lake, and countless other nooks and crannies, serving as “Property Manager” might seem like a daunting task – that’s a whole lot to manage! However, there’s nothing that Dan can’t fix! Dan grew up on a farm, and after farming he went into masonry. Most recently he was a groundsman. So, put it simply, he’s been preparing for this role his entire life! When Dan isn’t maintaining Camp Gray, he loves to be outside spending time with his amazing wife, Holly, his three wonderful kids, and his two adorable dogs.
