Camp Bauercrest

Director

Ken Cotton

Before accepting his dream job as Executive Director at Camp Bauercrest, Ken already had 13 years of professional experience in the field of childhood development under his belt. He was a teacher at Kennedy Middle School in Natick from 2003-2016. He coached high school boys’ lacrosse in Framingham from 2002-2014, and has been the President of Framingham Youth Lacrosse since 2010. Ken spent 13 summers in leadership roles at JCC Camp Kingswood in Bridgton, Maine.

“Camp has always played an important role in my life and that of my family,” Ken said. “I feel like I spent the last 13 years of my teaching and coaching career preparing for this incredible opportunity. When I was growing up, I would hear my Bauercrest friends talk about the ‘Big House’ and ‘The Hill.’ On my first visit, I could literally feel decades of stories permeating the atmosphere. With a camp that is so steeped in tradition, and with alumni who are so supportive, I couldn’t be more excited to call this place my second home. My plan is to embrace these traditions while exploring new ways to make Bauercrest even better.”

Ken lives in Framingham with his wife, Dyan who are parents to Jake and Jared. If you have questions for Ken about camp or anything else, you can reach him at ken@bauercrest.org.
