Congratulations to our own PFC athletic Director Steve ”Chad” Chadwin on reaching his 600^th win as coach of Abington Friends School. His Kangaroos have won 16 league titles. As Chad said when interviewed after the big win by the Philadelphia Inquirer, “No one person  was bigger than the program…we’ve had kids who are able to buy into the team concept.”  In his own humble way Chad always credits the group, but he is truly an outstanding individual leader, at school and at camp each summer at Pine Forest.

And Congratulations to Michael Silverman, Pine Forest alumni, old-timer and PFC parent who was sworn in as Mayor of the town of Livingston, New Jersey over the winter break last week.  Michael has been a leader ever since his days as a General in Color War at PFC back in the 70’s.  As Michael said, “I talk about camp and my experiences  in so many of my speeches and talks….the PFC family has shaped my life in many ways… PFC is more than camp – it is LIFE”. We salute you Michael, for your commitment to public service and for your bonds with Pine Forest Camp.

Pine Forest Camp = Leadership.
