Tom Troche

With vast experience in both the not-for-profit and private camp worlds, Tom has worked as a counselor, Athletic Director, Head Counselor, Staff Recruiter, Associate Director, and Director. After developing his leadership skills and passion for camp at Surprise Lake, Tom spent the last 25 years in various roles with KenMont and KenWood Camps, where he was the Director for the last 10 years. He became the Director of Camp Poyntelle in 2023.

Needless to say, summer is Tom’s favorite time of the year because it gives him the opportunity to indulge in his favorite activities with our camp community on the sports fields, in art programs, at outdoor adventure and of course on the waterfront. The interactions at these activities while getting to know campers and watching them grow is what he looks forward to most each summer. While Tom loves getting involved in all camp activities, he has a strong passion for “hoops” and sports in general, as well as taking part in waterfront activities, where you will find him encouraging campers to participate with him!
