James Thompson, Assistant Director

He/Him/His

After an incredible first year as the assistant director at Camp Downer, James is excited to return to a place that feels welcoming like home. It was so wonderful to meet the campers last year, work with the leaders, and discover why camp is so great–the staff who are so committed to the Downer Spirit and selflessly making the summer great for everyone. James spent the year travelling and working, producing media for the IMF and World Bank, and supporting children in a school in Australia. He attended the New England ACA conference with Camp Downers' leadership team and in D.C., talked with House Representatives about the value summer camps bring to America. James is looking forward to making it another great summer!
