| Bill “Troy” Widman |
Assistant Camp Director/Director of Gymnastics |
As Assistant Camp Director, Bill is an integral part of every girl’s summer, both in ways that she is aware of and, often, in ways that she is not. From inter-camp practice to movies and trips, Bill helps juggle many of the variables of camp life and keeps our camper and staff schedules up to date. Bill is also in charge of evening security. 2010 will also be Bill’s 29th year as Bryn Mawr’s Gymnastics Director! As a professional gymnastics coach year-round, Bill coaches level 5-10 gymnasts at home in Ohio. His Level 8 team won the state championship in 2008 and his teams have taken 1st or 2nd place in the state for five out of the last six years. He is also a former Ohio High School Gymnastics Coach of the Year. Bill holds a Masters Degree in Health and Physical Education from Bowling Green State University, where he was an active member of the gymnastics team. He has taught high school physical education for more than 20 years.

| Drew Bitterman |
Assistant Camp Director/Director of Camp Operations |
| Returning to lead the program staff for his 7th summer, Drew comes to Bryn Mawr with 16 years’ experience as a camper and administrator at respected co-ed camps in Maine and the Berkshires. Drew grew up in Short Hills, New Jersey, and holds a degree in business from Muhlenberg College. Although he now works full-time in programming and operations for LBMC, Drew spent time teaching skiing in Colorado and teaching English to schoolchildren. Drew will work closely with our Athletic Director and Program Directors to make sure each camper gets the most out of her summer instruction, and will bring his creativity to our daily schedule and special events once again this year. |
