My name is Chris Wolske and I live in Gaithersburg Maryland with my wife Karen and daughters Juliana and Rachel. I am a “Cloud Engineer” (IT Guy) with a degree in business and have some board experience with our homeowners association, eventually serving as president.

Koinonia has always been a part of my life. First with annual trips to family camp as a toddler, as a camper and counselor at teens camps, and again as a parent at family camp. The most important friendships of my life started at Camp, bonds that cannot be broken by distance or borders or politics. I’ve seen first-hand the changes Camp can bring to young people’s lives and the way it inspires us to walk closer with Christ. I would like to do whatever I can to ensure that Camp continues to be a place where everyone can find God and a loving community of believers to walk beside.

Jeff was first introduced to Camp over 25 years when he was visiting friends (Josie) and the Wright family at the property and it has been playing a large role in his life ever since!

For the past 16 years Jeff and his wife Josie along with their children Evan and Ben have been family campers. Jeff is also a volunteer on the property committee and has served as a Board Member in the past.

Jeff looks forward to serving on the Board for the next several years and contributing to the growth of Camp Koinonia.

Jean Jamieson was first introduced to Camp Koinonia at Christ Church Brampton through a presentation given by Andrew Barker.

Her family regularly visited friends near Parry Sound each summer near camp and one year decided to extend their family time with a last minute call.  Koinonia welcomed them with open arms and made the room for them to come.  Jean and her two boys were hooked and have found a home at Koinonia.

Outside camp involvement is excessive in faith, in sport, in poverty, in finance, always allowing time to peacefully connect in the beauty of our Creator’s glory.

Jennifer Batt has been involved in Camp Koinonia since 1992, starting as a camper, then a counsellor, staff member, program director, manager, and board member. Koinonia is where she first met Jesus, and camp has been close to her heart ever since.

When she isn’t at camp, Jennifer is a teacher and spiritual director in Toronto.

Maureen’s first introduction to Camp Koinonia was when she came on a camping retreat one Summer weekend with the Church family where she serves as a Youth Pastor. It was a beautiful experience; she had the privilege of leading the kids program that weekend and the camp continues to hold a dear place in her heart.

Maureen is currently completing her PhD in Theological Studies. She has served in the roles of Family, Children and Youth Pastor for over five years and camping plays a significant part in her ministry. She enjoys retreating with her crew of youngsters to the serenity and beauty of camp grounds to fellowship together, encounter Christ in a fresh way and strengthen community.

Maureen is excited to be a part of the Board and looks forward to serving and contributing in driving forward the vision of Camp Koinonia – Ordinary People. Extraordinary Community. One God.
