Meet the Staff at Camp Hanover

Bob

Bob Pryor – Director
director@camphanover.org

Bob grew up loving the outdoors and being miserable at camp. Isn't it funny how God puts us in situations that we would never, on our own, place ourselves in? A summer of counseling at Camp Hanover in the mid '60's changed his life and allowed him to hear God's call to outdoor ministry.

Bob met his wife Lucy at Camp Hanover. They later married, and Bob accepted the position of director at Camp Rockfish, a United Methodist Church camp and retreat center in North Carolina. There, their family grew from two to five, and in 1990, Bob returned to Camp Hanover to direct this fine outdoor ministry.

Bob enjoys sports (in particular soccer), being outdoors, journaling, reading (if he can stay awake!), and watching campers grow into responsible adults and Christian role models in their communities. He finds particular joy in seeing campers return later as enthusiastic staff members, serving others, and blessing campers in the way they were blessed.

Katherine

Katherine Nguyen – Assistant Director
assistantdir@camphanover.org

It was growing up in church camp that Katherine first experienced the freedom & joy of Christ, and it was there that she first felt God’s call on her life to go into ministry.

Katherine began working at Camp Hanover during her summers at Union Theological Seminary & Presbyterian School of Christian Education.

Since graduating with her Masters of Divinity in 2002, Katherine has served alongside her husband Minh-Vu in youth and young adult ministries in Florida and Louisiana.

She returned to us in the summer of 2007 to share her gifts in ministry, hospitality, development, communication, and art/marketing and has been ordained into this role as a Minister of Word and Sacrament.

Incy

Incy Teoh - Camp Hanover Intern

Hi there! My name is Incy Teoh from Melbourne, Australia. I have been a youth ministry coordinator for 9 years in my local home church in Melbourne. Besides my love for God, adventure, and people, my passion is to see young people live out a life that is full of the purpose God intended for them. Having the privilege to join Camp Hanover as a Unit Director in Summer 2010, I am blessed to return as a intern to learn the ins and outs of this great ministry.

My prayer is that all who come and experience Camp Hanover will leave with a sense of being loved, renewed, and equipped to serve God and others in their everyday lives.
