Gerry Santillian
Gerry is going for the record of most year-round positions held at Four Winds * Westward Ho. Arriving first into camp as the mate aboard Carlyn, Gerry swallowed the anchor and decided to stay year round first as a maintenance assistant, then as our gardener and groundskeeper, and now as the skipper aboard Carlyn. A native of California and a graduate of Humboldt State, Gerry loves this ecosystem where the evergreens meet the sea. You can often find Gerry near the shore collecting driftwood with Joe, off on some boating adventure, bicycling around the island, or trying to complete yet another 1000 piece puzzle.

Kate Petrick
Kate Petrick comes to us from Wisconsin where she first began to cultivate
her love of gardening. Her goals for the camp are varied and many but what
has become central to her mission is to create and environment that
encourages a love of the outdoors, and the safety of the campers as they
enjoy a summer of growth, new friends and memories that will last a
lifetime. In her spare time, she too loves to collect driftwood with Joe.
