\\r\\n
John Giovale, President
\\r\\n
John is a long time resident of Flagstaff where he and his wife, Ginger, raised four boys (three of which attended Camp Colton).  He was employed by W. L. Gore and associates for 33 years where he participated in the divisional leadership of the Company.  John believes “Camp Colton has become an important experience for young people growing up in the Flagstaff community. For many kids, Camp Colton provides their first experience learning about nature away from home. Camp also reinforces many of the values important to sustaining Flagstaff’s environmental quality…something we all enjoy.” John joined the Friends of Camp Colton to help reduce the financial uncertainty associated with the annual funding of the program.  Equally important to John is working with the Friends Board and FUSD leadership to continue the great experience Camp Colton offers to Flagstaff’s sixth grade students.

Lauren Berutich, Vice President
\\r\\n
Lauren was introduced to the program through a friend who enthusiastically expressed, “If you\'re interested in Environmental Education, then you have to meet Cameron and learn about Camp Colton!”  This was some of the best advice she has received since her arrival in Flagstaff seven years ago. Lauren served as an Environmental Education instructor at Camp Colton for three years, provided administrative assistance in the office and updated Camp’s curriculum to effectively address Arizona State Standards. Lauren currently serves as the Friends of Camp Colton’s Vice President and “believes that every child has the right to a hands-on, experiential outdoor education that heightens their sense of learning and understanding of place.” She is pursuing a M.A. from NAU in Sustainable Communities with and emphasis on hands-on learning in sustainable classrooms.

Emily is a Flagtaff native, an alumnus of Camp Colton and a former Camp Colton instructor. She holds degrees from both U of A and NAU and currently teaches Biology and Environmental Science at Flagstaff High School. As a student, Emily was influenced by her experience at Camp Colton to pursue outdoor education---which eventually led to teaching. She joined the FCC board to help ensure the continuation of the Camp Colton experience for local children. \\"I believe Camp Colton is an essential element of the Flagstaff community, especially because it is the first experience that some students have with spending a week outside. I loved working there.\\"\\r\\n

He earned a B.S. in Physics from Westminster College of Salt Lake City and is the Founder/Owner of Kahtoola, Inc; a Flagstaff-based outdoor winter gear company. Danny believes that Camp Colton is a valuable and unique community treasure and he joined the FCC board to contribute to its long term success and stability. “I remember being at Camp on the first day and having a sense of freedom and responsibility that was new and exhilarating. Camp Colton provides 6th graders with a fantastic opportunity to make a developmental leap and to learn about the natural environment. The experience provided by Camp Colton is something most of us remember fondly for the rest of our lives. I hope to see all Flagstaff 6th graders have an opportunity to attend.” \\r\\n
