As you all know, this was Sumner Ford’s last summer as director of Pine Island Camp – a role he shared this summer with our new director, Alex Toole. This month, Sumner will embark on a new challenge as the Associate Director of Philanthropy for The Nature Conservancy in Vermont.

While we will greatly miss his presence, we are excited that he has found a role that will allow him to significantly contribute to conservation efforts in his home state. As we send out trips in Vermont in the future, it will be nice to know that Sumner’s work will directly benefit Pine Islanders for years to come.

Please join us in congratulating Sumner on this exciting new chapter and thanking him for his many years of service and leadership at Pine Island Camp. We wish him all the best on this new journey! Sumner’s Pine Island email will remain active for the next few months: sford@pineisland.org.
