🚩 From Camp La-No-Che to Philmont!🏔️
This past week, two of Camp La-No-Che’s outstanding team members made the Scouting pilgrimage to the legendary Philmont Training Center to participate in National Camping School. During this intensive week-long program, they expanded their skills in camp operations, facility management, customer service, staff development, leadership, and much more.
👏 We are proud to announce that Mike Kahanca and Todd Hempfield have successfully earned their certification as National Camp School Camp Directors!
They now join the eight Camp La-No-Che staff members who completed National Camping School earlier this year and achieved certification in May, continuing our commitment to providing exceptional camping experiences for Scouts.
In addition, our Director of Camping Services, Mac Griffith, served on the National Camping School faculty, helping instruct the Camp Director and Program Director sections. Through his efforts, eight new camp administration leaders were certified and will help deliver high-quality Scouting programs at camps across the nation in 2027.
🎉 Congratulations to Mike, Todd, Mac, and all of the new National Camp School graduates! Let’s wish them safe travels home, as they prepare to jump right back into the action as we kick off Cub Halloween Weekend 2 at Camp La-No-Che!
