Meet the 2025 CRC Committee!

As the summer season quickly approaches, we wanted to take an opportunity to present our 2025 AMC Cold River Camp Committee (CRCC) members! The CRCC works together alongside the AMC, summer managers, and other key volunteers to ensure everything runs smoothly at Cold River Camp. Cold River Camp would not exist without this volunteer group ~ so if you run into one of our fabulous committee members at camp, please thank them for their hard work. Anyone can join the committee, so if you’d like to learn more, just fill out the volunteer form. We can hardly wait to see you on the Conant Lodge porch this summer!

Ozzy Osborne, Miranda Grover, Bob Tucker, David Graham

Ozzy Osborne - Committee Chair

Ozzy serves as the Chair of the CRC committee and loves the sense of community and camaraderie at camp for families and hikers of all ages. He has been a hike leader for years and enjoys coming to camp with his daughters. 

Miranda Grover - Vice Chair

Miranda serves as the Vice Chair of the CRC committee. She previously worked with the recruitment team that helps to bring new volunteers to every corner of camp including committee members, hike leaders, and work weekend volunteers. She was on “croo” in 2017 and 2018, and returned as assistant manager in 2023. Her favorite things that keeps her coming back to camp year after year is the access to beautiful trails, dark and starry nights, card games in the lodge, the songs of hermit thrushes heard outside of cabin windows, and of course, time spent with friends and family.

Bob Tucker- Treasurer 

Bob serves on the Finance Team as Treasurer of CRC and would have to say that his favorite aspect of the Camp (besides the wonderful location, scenery and hiking opportunities) is the great sense of community and the lasting friendships he has made over the years.

David Graham- Facilities Team Lead

David is the CRC Facilities Committee Chair. His favorite thing about camp is sharing the mountains with the CRC Community. He is a skilled carpenter and can often be found tinkering during his time at camp, helping to make improvements to our beloved buildings!

Mark Weston, Ann Prindle, Emma Huse, Shelley Gallender, Jon Ordway

Mark Weston- Marketing Team Lead

Mark Weston currently serves as the Team Lead for the CRCC Marketing Team. He also is a member of the Recruitment team. Mark's interests lie in using and applying technology to help keep Campers informed and better connect them to Camp. This includes work supporting and maintaining CRC's website, email lists / mailings, and online registration. Anyone interested in supporting these systems, or has new ideas on how to better support and connect Camp/Campers should reach out to volunteer for CRC today! Mark's favorite thing about Camp is the Baldface Circle Trail on a clear, sunny day. 

Ann Prindle

Ann currently serves on four teams; The Recruitment team, Finance Team Lead, AMC’s DEI Committee, and Chair of Conant Lodge Capital Campaign. She has been coming to camp for more than half of her life, and it’s her happy place. Ann cherishes the friendships she has made over the years; that’s what keeps her coming back year after year. That and many favorite hikes to Blueberry Mountain, Mt. Crag and of course Rainy Days and Waterfalls hike.

Emma Huse- Recruitment Team Lead

Emma Huse serves as the CRC Recruiment Team Lead, helping identify other volunteers from within the CRC community. She also volunteers as the Winter Cabin Registrar. Emma's favorite thing about CRC is time with family and friends who are family on the porch after a perfect hike!

Shelley Gallender- Committee Member

Shelley is on the Marketing & Communications Team. Her favorite thing about camp is watching her kids grow up there- starting out at ages 8 months and 2 years old during their first summer at camp and now they are 8 and 10. Every summer it feels like we get to go to "summer camp" with the whole family! 

(She is also a die hard fan of the CRC fruitcake they put out on the lunch table every summer!)

Jon Ordway- Facilities Team Lead

Jon Ordway was a member of CRC Crew in 1981 and 1983. He began volunteering during prep week in 2015 helping to get camp ready for the season by fixing screens, painting, and making minor repairs. In 2021, he began serving on the Facilities Team and soon after was appointed to the CRC Committee. Jon is a professional civil engineer with over 30 years of experience assessing, characterizing and cleaning up contaminated property. Jon loves outdoor activities including hiking/backpacking, biking, kayaking, and cross country skiing.
