John “Poff” Poffenberger

Camp Winaukee Director

Poff’s passion for camp began back in 1992 where he began as a basketball counselor. 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 finally was able to go full circle and return to camp, but not just any camp, Camp Winaukee.

Poff and his wife, Karen, met on camp 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 daughter, Colbie.
