Interview with Wheaton Griffin

DateTuesday, March 9, 2010 at 1:22AM

At the Northeast YMCA Camp Conference, I had the chance to interview Wheaton Griffin.  Wheaton is the Executive Director of the New York YMCA Camp (Formerly Camp Talcott, McAlister, & Greenkill).  When he transitioned from Camp Cosby to New York YMCA Camp he found a strong culture of bullying.  With Joel Haber's help Wheaton was able to turn around the culture of the camp in one summer.  

Take a listen to his story below or right click and download the file here.  The interview was just over 11 minutes long.

Nice interview Dan. Inspiring stories from Wheaton Griffin and I like his account of witnessing Joel Haber work with Camp staff. This was an intro to the work of Joel Haber for me. Thanks!

I worked for Wheaton's Camp, and I will say that he is one of the most inspiring individuals in camping that I have ever met. Just amazing... Just amazing.
