Any organization dedicated to positive experiences for young people would be fortunate to count Chris Thurber among its advisors. 

            At Pathfinder, we have a 93-year tradition. We nurture it by preserving ideals that endure over decades, but also by reaching out for new, effective approaches to camper, counselor, parent and program. Chris knows that these visions are complementary.

            Chris taken the time to understand where Pathfinder comes from and where her leaders want to guide her. He has crafted such a supportive relationship with us; his counsel is valued by director and staff member alike.

            During staff training, Chris quickly won over our large, veteran crew. He used that trust to unlock shared values within the group, and offered real tools to cope with the demands of a camp season.

            Among many tributes to Chris is that his words and ideas were still on the lips of counselors at the end of our season. He is an honorary staff member and a trusted new friend.
