Cedar Lodge Directors and Year Around Staff
Cedar
Lodge operates as a summer camp, a year around weekend and
conference center, and a Hunter\Jumper Show stable. It is 150
acres, has 20 out buildings, 2 houses and 50 horses under it's
care. With those numbers, you can imagine the amount of work that
goes into keeping it all together. Though this page is dedicated
to the Cedar Lodge directors and core staff, there are many, many
others that help out full, or part time to keep life at Cedar
Lodge flowing without incident. For more of their profiles, you
may want to visit Stable Staff and Staff Biographies.
Amy:Amy,
the youngest of Stella and Eddy's children has now moved up to the big
shoes as "Director" of Cedar Lodge. Over her years at camp, Amy was a
camper, a cabin staff for 10 years, Senior Unit director, Head
lifeguard (with a W.S.I and American Lifeguarding Instructor's
certification), Head Riding Instructor, and took Canoe trips with
various groups of campers. She served as program director for 20
years, dealing with the hiring and training of staff, and overseeing
the day to day programing of camp. Amy comes to her job with many
years of camping experience and intense love of sharing that love with
other staff and campers. Amy is assisted by a large group of
support staff behind and in the scenes, as well as an excellent program
staff up front. Her brother, David lends a hand as grounds and facility
supervisor and sister Sally playing the piano for group singing
everyday. As they have become old enough, Eddy and Stella's
grandchildren have take advantage of camp life, have served as
staff in various positions and continue to fit in where their time
allows.
Chris:Chris Cochrane co-owns and co-directs Cedar Lodge
Stables with Amy.Chris is a great help in the behind the scenes
daily running of camp. All the jobs you never think about; mail,
laundry run, shopping, check in and invoicing are either done by
or assisted by Chris. Not only is Chris an integral part of the
barn, but you can always count on Chris to pitch in where needed.
During Summer Camp, Chris acts as Camp Health Officer, supervises the kitchen and Show
Team Director. Whether it be taking announcements when Amy is
called away, throwing on an apron to serve a meal, or giving a
tour of camp, Chris will always be there to be that extra
hand.
Through out the years, a variety of staff have stayed on at Cedar
Lodge year around, becoming an integral part of our Cedar Lodge
family. Many come to find themselves just out of college or are
in between semesters needing a break. Some stay on for a few
months, some stay a few years, and some are here for ever.
Whatever the case, they become part of our CL family.
