FLC Signs Alumni All-Star - Chris Stamm Joins Camp Administration
Forest Lake is proud to announce that Chris Stamm has joined
the camp administration for the 2007 season as an associate
director. Chris has been connected with Forest Lake since the
early 70's when he attended as a camper, a counselor, a
waterfront director, and a head counselor. During the off
season, Chris teaches and coaches at the middle school level
in
Boca Raton, Florida where he resides with his wife, Tammy.
Chris will, no doubt, strengthen an already outstanding
administrative team consisting of George Mc Donnell, John
Bockelmann, Jennifer Burke, Karen Millington, Ray Head,
Chris Ramsey and Lauren Perez.
