Purchased in 1970 by experienced educators, Mr. & Mrs. Marion Jordan, Woodland is now in it's third generation of family ownership and direction - Anne Jordan and daughters, JoAnne Jordan Trimpe and Susan Jordan. Anne holds a Bachelor's Degree in Recreation Leadership from University of Wisconsin, is an experienced nutritionist, guidance counselor and has raised three children who have families of their own. JoAnne earned her BS Degree in Business from Indiana University specializing in management and together with her husband Kevin is raising their son Jack. A mother of three adult and two younger children, Susan is also an experienced nutritionist and has a BA in Art from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. The continuity of Jordan family leadership is an important feature in the camps' reputation for excellence.
In addition to specialized staff members we maintain one counseling staff member for every four campers.
A great deal of careful planning, training and guidance is given to building the staff of teachers and college members who will have an important role in the success of the camping experience for you. Many of our most experienced staff members have been campers and have qualified through our leadership-training program. A Woodland counselor will have a positive and friendly attitude; inspire by example the confidence of the camper; and possess the creative skills and wisdom of a true leader.
We introduce ourselves and well qualified staff members to you with pride and the confidence that comes from a 69-year history of providing children with one great summer after another of successful camping experiences!
