CMP Hires Camp Riflery Manager

By Sommer Wood, Staff Writer/Editor


The CMP is proud to announce the hiring of Jeff Williams as its new Camp Riflery Manager. CMP Director Gary Anderson said, “we consider this a major step forward in our efforts to strengthen, improve and expand our Camp Riflery Program.” The CMP is developing a comprehensive Camp Riflery Program that offers instructor training courses and training curriculum for camp riflery instructors and counselors. The CMP program is designed to serve summer camps that offer marksmanship as part of their program as well as to assist other camps in getting new riflery programs started.

Anderson explained, “having someone available to work on this program full-time gives it tremendous potential for reaching many more youth with safety and marksmanship instruction. With Jeff on board, we hope to increase the number of active Camp Riflery Master Instructors, significantly expand the number of Instructor Clinics that we conduct, and continue to develop our riflery curriculum and training aids for camps. We also plan to make consultation services on range and riflery program design available to many more camps.”

Jeff is joining the CMP North staff from his current residence in Cincinnati, OH. He is a graduate of Eastern Illinois University with a BS in Parks and Recreation Administration. While at EIU, he was a member of the University’s rifle team. He has several years of work experience in camp programming and administration with most of his experience in YMCA camps. Jeff also worked as a Hunting Department Team Leader for Bass Pro Shops.
