YEAR ROUND STAFF

Ben Radley- Executive Director

Hi, I'm Ben Radley, the executive director here at Pleasant Hill.  I'm originally from upstate New York, good old rural dairy farm country.  I have a degree from Appalachian Bible College in WV in Bible and Camp Ministries and been doing camp and camp stuff for over a decade now.  I started at PHOC as the program director in 2008 and in 2012 was promoted to be the Executive Director.  My wife Chelsea is just as crazy about camp as I am; we have been married 9 years, and have two kids, Kaden 6, and Cali, 3.  I love all things camp, and all things out of doors from hiking and skiing to camping and boating.  Locally I'm active at our area ski patrol, and attend Westwood Alliance Church up in Ontario Ohio.  My responsibilities here as Executive Director include the evaluation and hiring of summer staff, training, and the implementation of our multifaceted summer camp program plus whatever else needs doing!

 

Penny Swindall- Hospitality and Registrations

Hi I'm Penny Swindall, I am just a simple woman with a simple life. My days are filled with soccer games, Friday night High School football, forgotten homework, dirty dishes, piles of laundry, unpaid bills….but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love my life! I have been married to the same man for 20 years and have three great kids. My oldest is a senior in High School, my middle is a moody 8th grader and my baby is a first grader who no longer needs Mommy to walk her to class. And our family pet is a boxer that we call Bailey who thinks that she has first dibs on the sofa and remote.

I am so excited to be a part of this ministry we call Camp! I adore kids…yours and mine, their silliness, their moodiness but mostly their sincerity. I look forward to meeting your child and will do my best to meet their needs during their stay at Pleasant Hill Outdoor Camp.
