Secretary: Donna Paul-Bonham (class of 2022)

Donna fell in love with Camp Greenwood during the summer of 1979.  She served two summers as a counselor, followed by one summer as program director. God redefined her sense of call while she was at Camp Greenwood.  She graduated from Michigan State University and received her master’s degree from the Presbyterian School of Christian Education in Richmond, VA. As life took her to Arkansas and Indiana she always felt called to seek out and volunteer at the Presbytery Youth Camps.  Now she is fortunate to be back living in southwest Michigan. Even before returning to Michigan she and her husband, Scott, also a Camp Greenwood Staff alumni, were seeking out ways to reconnect with this beloved camp where they met. They both thoroughly enjoy and look forward to serving as Camp Chaplains each summer. Donna was honored to be invited to be on the Greenwood Ministry Association Board.

I live in Sturgis and am a member of the Presbyterian Church there, I also serve as Sturgis’ representative for Lake Michigan Presbytery. My husband, Mark, and I are Alma College graduates. We are both thankful for the relationships we and our children have made at camp with other campers, staff
and most importantly God.
