Erik co-founded the camp 22 years ago with classmate Dan Doyle. The pair went to the Bates administration and convinced them of the need for a summer camp that emphasized life values through exposure to healthy competition in a variety of sports. Doyle ran the program in its first year in the early 1980s, and Bertelsen took over after that. &#8220;The bottom line is it has to be fun for the kids,&#8221; Erik said. &#8220;I think my play on it has been to sort of look at sports as a vehicle through which kids could feel good about themselves.&#8221; (Dan has carried those same values forward in his work with the founder and executive director of the Institute for International Sport.) Erik leaves the camp&#8217;s directorship, as well as his position in the Colby admissions office, to become the assistant head for enrollment at the Pomfret School in Connecticut&#8230;. Michael Schwartz has been retained by NanoSignal Corp. to help implement its Slices technology, which enhances imaging technology without a loss of image quality&#8230;. Tom Snyder&#8217;s business, Designer Glass Mosaics, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.designerglassmosaics.com\">www.designerglassmosaics.com<\/a>, creates mosaics that comprise hundreds, and often thousands, of geometrically shaped, stained-glass mosaic tiles. Each tile is hand-cut, glued, and grouted on a curved or flat surface. Reflecting original designs, the mosaics are created for fireplace surrounds, backsplashes, accent tiles as well as mosaic furniture, art works and lighting works. Tom&#8217;s studio is at the Charlotte Art League in Charlotte, N.C., and his work is displayed in a number of area galleries.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Class Secretary: Deborah Doermann Burch, 4065 Pleasant Green Road, Durham NC 27705,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":221,"featured_media":0,"parent":2798,"menu_order":44,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_hide_ai_chatbot":false,"_ai_chatbot_style":"","associated_faculty":[],"_Page_Specific_Css":"","_bates_restrict_mod":false,"_dimp_site_id":"","_dimp_override_contact":false,"_table_of_contents_display":false,"_table_of_contents_location":"","_table_of_contents_disableSticky":false,"_is_featured":false,"footnotes":"","_bates_seo_meta_description":"","_bates_seo_block_robots":false,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_id":0,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_twitter_id":0,"_bates_seo_share_title":"","_bates_seo_canonical_overwrite":"","_bates_seo_twitter_template":""},"class_list":["post-5459","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/221"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5459"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5459\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11897,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5459\/revisions\/11897"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
