Joe Orr named Pirate Captain


I am excited to announce that Joe Orr has been named the 2014 Adventure Camp Director.  Joe served at Adventure Camp last summer, starting the season as Assistant Camp Director and moving into the Camp Director role in mid-season.  Joe has a wealth of camp experience.  He served on the staff at Camp T. Brady Saunders for 7 years, and is National Camp School trained in Aquatics and Camp Management.

Joe is an Eagle Scout from Troop 900, and he works full-time for the Heart of Virginia Council as the Executive for Rivers District, which covers 8 counties on the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck of Virginia.  Joe has a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science from Longwood University, and he's engaged to be married with an October 2014 wedding date set.

As a Cub Scout, Joe earned his Arrow of Light.  He also cites a Cub Scout Camping event with his father as a key experience in Scouting.  "I was a Webelos Scout, and we were at Scout Camp," says Joe, " I remember turning to my father and saying 'This is awesome!  I'm having a great time."

Joe is working hard right now to put together an amazing staff of camp counselors for this summer.  Our hope is that you and your son will also have a great time at Adventure Camp in 2014.
