We are pleased to announce our director team for Camp Snyder’s 2021 summer camp season!

If you ever have any questions, please visit www.GoToSnyder.org to get in touch with the Camp Snyder staff!

Camp Director Kevin Rock (back) and Program Director Mohammad Qadri (front)

Meet Camp Director Kevin Rock!

Kevin is going on his 10th year on staff at Snyder. He started when the camp opened in 2006 and stayed until 2011 where he held various positions around the property (from Camp Clerk to Camp Photographer, and from Camp Medical Officer to Camp Business Manager). He returned in 2018 as the Summer Camp Director. He achieved the rank of Eagle Scout in 1995 and was bestowed the OA Vigil honor in 2008. He has earned his bachelor’s and master’s degree from Longwood University, and his Ph.D. from the University of Scouting where he continues to teach every year.  Outside the summer months he is an elementary school librarian for PWC public schools.

Meet Program Director Mohammad Qadri!

Mohammad has been coming to Snyder since he joined Scouting and has been working at the camp since 2016. He’s worked all over the camp from the Kitchen staff, to shooting sports and, for the past two years, the program director. Mohammad is an Eagle Scout and loves working with scouts of all ages and looks forward to staying safe and making a great program this summer.
