Meet Bernadette
Greetings Many Point Staff, Friends and Supporters,
Our search is complete and we are excited to have Bernadette Takash as the new Camping Director at Many Point Scout Camp! While she may be new to Many Point, she is certainly no stranger to Scouting or the camping world.
Bernadette brings extensive High Adventure experience, having served two summers and a fall season at Philmont Scout Ranch and this past winter at Northern Tier High Adventure Base. At Philmont, she guided the Rayado program, teaching essential wilderness skills and leadership development to Scouts on a three-week-long trek. At Northern Tier, she led winter expeditions, ensuring participants had safe and memorable experiences in extreme conditions.
In addition to her High Adventure experience, Bernadette has served on the leadership team at Tomahawk Scout Camp, where she helped develop and pilot the Discovery Adventure Program. This innovative program expanded Tomahawk’s reach beyond traditional Scouting, providing new opportunities for all youth to experience the adventure and personal growth that camp offers.
Beyond Scouting, Bernadette has worked with YMCA of the Rockies and Nature’s Classroom, leading outdoor education programs, instructing activities such as climbing and archery, and facilitating team-building experiences. Her diverse background in youth programming, outdoor education, and leadership development makes her well-equipped to step into this role and continue Many Point’s tradition of delivering exceptional camp experiences.
Reflecting on her new position, Bernadette shared:
“I am very excited to join the Many Point staff and community as the next Camping Director. Everyone I have interacted with has been extremely welcoming and passionate about their love for Many Point, and I can’t wait to continue to meet all the people that make it such a special place. My favorite memories come from summer camp settings, and I look forward to creating countless more up at Many Point.”
As she steps into this role, Bernadette is dedicating her first summer to learning from and supporting the incredible staff and volunteers who have made Many Point the outstanding camp it is today. She is eager to immerse herself in camp traditions, listen to the experiences of returning staff, and ensure that Many Point continues to be a place where Scouts and leaders create lifelong memories. With a strong foundation of passionate people, she looks forward to an exciting summer and many great seasons to come!
Please join us in welcoming Bernadette. We know that she is going to fit right in with our already incredible team.
