Dr. Chris Thurber Returns to Chippewa!
We are thrilled to once again have Chris Thurber as part of our pre-camp training program. Chris is a board-certified clinical psychologist, author, consultant, parent and camping professional. He earned his BA in psychology from Harvard University, and went on to receive a PhD in clinical psychology at UCLA. He has been a guest on The Today Show, Fox News, CBS This Morning and most recently The Martha Stewart Show. Chris is a regular speaker at American Camp Association conferences, and has been training camping professionals for many years. He has authored numerous publications with the primary objective of helping camps to create the safest and healthiest possible environment for children. Most important though, is Chris's passion for camp and his ability to relate to today's youth. He spends every summer at Camp Belknap in New Hampshire, where he serves as their Waterfront Director and psychologist in residence. Chris was in part the inspiration behind our decision to hire our own camp psychologist, Julie Alitto!
This will be Chris's third summer with us and we are looking forward to everything that he has to offer! You can visit his website- www.campspirit.com to learn more.
