Dear Camp Nerden Families,

We hope you are all looking forward to another amazing camp season with us at Camp Nerden! As we transition into this 2026 camp season, we wanted to share an important staffing update with our camp community. Our Assistant Director, Conor, has accepted an exciting new professional opportunity and will be transitioning into a new role outside of Camp Nerden. While we are sad to see him step away from his current position, we are incredibly proud of him and grateful for the dedication, care, and energy he has brought to our camp families, volunteers and campers over the years in many different roles.

Although Conor will no longer be serving as Assistant Director, he will still remain a part of the Camp Nerden family. He plans to visit throughout the camp season and lend a helping hand whenever he can, and we know our campers will be excited to still see him around.

At the same time, we are also very thrilled to welcome Erica Flanagan into the role of Assistant Director. Erica has been a part of camp for 14 years, and has been running E Group for 10 of those years! Erica brings great enthusiasm, experience, compassion, and commitment to supporting our campers, volunteers, and staff, and we are excited for everyone to get to know her this summer in this new role. 

Lastly, I wanted to also announce Lauren McPhee as our new “Jack of all Trades” where she will not only be helping with logistics, fill-ins, and organizational aspects of camp, but she will also be helping to oversee our volunteers, and work on community outreach! Lauren has been a part of camp for 16 years and has been running F group for 10 of those years! Lauren has already started bringing amazing ideas, creativity and energy while starting this position. 

Thank you all for your continued support, trust, and partnership. We are looking forward to an incredible 2026 camp season filled with fun, growth, and memorable experiences for all of our campers, staff, volunteers, and families. 

Sincerely, 

Evelyn Nassif 

Camp Nerden Director
