Our Leaders & Staff

Let’s talk about your child and how Kennolyn can partner with your family!

Andrew and Brenda Townsend

Andrew has been a part of Kennolyn since 1985. Like so many people before and since, he found Kennolyn to be a destination rather than a stop on a journey. In that first summer he met his future wife, Brenda, and Kennolyn became their summer home. In 1993, Andrew and Brenda moved to Kennolyn fulltime and over the next few years Andrew became the Director of all our camps. Andrew served two terms as President of the American Camp Association (ACA), Northern California and is the current president of the Western Association of Independent Camps. He also served on the Board of Directors of Pacific Collegiate School in Santa Cruz. Brenda has held many positions with Kennolyn. In the past several years Brenda has been our Food Service Manager. We’re grateful for her tireless efforts and the tasty food! They raised their three kids at Kennolyn and they all now work at Kennolyn too.

Lindsey Caldwell Johnson and Dan Johnson

Lindsey and Dan met at Kennolyn as counselors and raise their family of 3 boys nearby in Capitola. Lindsey grew up going to Kennolyn every summer, then worked as a staff member for many years. Lindsey has worked as a graphic designer and now works year-round here in Camper Development. Her goal is to enhance every family’s experience in the same spirit that her grandparents Aunt Marion and Uncle Max did for so many thousands of campers! Dan has been with Kennolyn since 1993, is a former teacher, ran Huntington Lake Overnight Camp, and is excited to be back running Day Camp which he ran for many years.

Judy Fede

Judy has been registering campers and helping parents for three summers now. She is a wonderful addition to our camp family! We love her infectious positive attitude and her example of living a healthy lifestyle. When not in the office you can find Judy walking her dog Holly, at the local farmer’s market, or cooking something yummy at home.

Miles Bundy

Miles first came to Kennolyn in 2012, from Southampton, England. He started as a Cabin Counselor and continued to return summer after summer in various different roles until he moved to California permanently in 2016. He is one of a few people that have spent some time working for all of Kennolyn’s different departments (including Faciltities!). He took a break from Kennolyn in 2018 to take a corporate job, but returned to working at Kennolyn in April 2022 in a full time role as our Operations Coordinator. He splits his time between our Camps and Events department dealing with all the logistics that go into keeping Kennolyn tick.
