Season 2, Episode 2: Kelly Mathews: Manager, Sport Venue Operations, and Community Recreation Programs

About Today's Show

Our guest today is Kelly Mathews, Manager, Sport Venue Operations, and Community Recreation Programs at Seneca College. Kelly is also Camp Director for the Seneca King Day Camp, one of the largest day camps in Ontario, record holder for the fastest completion of the Oak Ridge Moraine Trail, and author of two (soon to be three) books.

In episode, recorded on location at King Day Camp, Kelly and I discuss...

1. King Day Camp, and what it takes to be a camp director at one of Ontario's largest day camps (hint: It involves getting up really early)

2. What happens after the camp closes down for the winter (a lot, actually!)

3. Kelly's books: Eaton Hall: Pride of King Township, The Road to Marylake, and a third due out in 2020, on the definitive history of King Township.

4. Kelly's record-setting hike of the Oak Ridge Moraine Trail.
