Camp Wilmot - Faith is in our Nature
Summer Camp & Rental Site
Camp Wilmot
Board of Directors
Rachel Allen, Co-Chair
Rachel Allen lives in Scotland and has a long relationship with Wilmot, traveling over to be here each summer since 2003. Rachel has taken on many different roles for the site in the past including many years as Camp Director and lived on site through the winter in 2010 and 2011. Rachel is our camp administrator responsible for bookings and communication for the camp. In Scotland, she teaches in an elementary school and is very involved in her local church. Rachel loves being outside and spending time with friends around the campfire at Camp Wilmot. One of the most exciting things is seeing campers grow up and become staff members and mentoring them through this. Rachel’s favorite place on site is either lying in a kayak in the middle of Whites Pond or sitting on the boardwalk.
Mary Alice Koon, Co-Chair
Mary Alice is a middle school teacher in Massachusetts. She was first introduced to Wilmot as a camper when she was 10 years old, and she was later a CIT and counselor at camp in high school and college. Mary Alice is excited to be involved in camp again by serving on the board. She is also grateful for the opportunity to help Camp Wilmot continue to be a place where campers spend time in a meaningful community and enjoy the beauty of nature. In her spare time, Mary Alice loves to read and to be outside, hiking, swimming, and kayaking. (All things she enjoyed as much as a camper as much as she does now!)
Diane Gillies, Treasurer
Diane (Wright) Gillies started coming to Camp very early in life, attending work, family, and youth camps and then working on Staff in the kitchen. Camp Wilmot has a special place in her heart as it is where she came to grow in her faith. Diane is married to Donald Gillies and all three children (Iain, Aoife and Calum) have also attended Camp and served on Staff. She works as an accountant for a property management company and lives in Arlington MA.
Emily Latour
Emily is a generalist photographer living in central Massachusetts with her fiancée, Chris and expecting a babygirl in 2027. Introduced to Camp Wilmot at the age of 4, Emily has spent numerous seasons enjoying all that Camp Wilmot has to offer from a kayak around Whites Pond, opening camp up in the spring, leaf peeping in the fall to sledding down Vesper Hill. After many years as a family camper and youth camper Emily became a CIT and then transitioned into a counselor role. Since retiring from her counselor position and expanding her love of photography in college, she is ready to get back involved with Camp activities and helping with needs of the board for Camp Wilmot. Emily is also excited to help more youth experience the beauty of Wilmot and God’s presence on the grounds for years to come. In Emily’s down time she enjoys hiking, kayaking, baking, and finding new beautiful places in New England to explore.
