Jon “Poff” Poffenberger

Camp Cobbossee Director

Poff’s passion for camp began back in 1992 where he began as a basketball counselor at Camp Cobbossee. Over time he became a program head, a group leader and finally served as the Head Counselor. Although his full-time status came to an end in the early 2000’s, the fire still burned strong and he knew, some day, he would get back to camp. After twenty-five years of independent school administration in Massachusetts, California and Michigan, he returned as one of the directors of Camp Winaukee in New Hampshire. After five fantastic years at Winaukee, Poff has come full circle and returned to Camp Cobbossee as their director.

Poff and his wife, Karen, met at Cobbossee in 1993 and still stay in touch with current and former administrators, counselors and campers who all share the same passion for how special camp truly is. They are blessed to be able to share the camp experience again with their son, Colbie.
