Carole Brunelle (Mamma Carole)
Executive Director
Carole became the Executive Director of Pleasant Hill Outdoor Camp (PHOC) in February 2024, but her connection to the camp began well before that. Her journey with PHOC began many years ago when her youngest son attended the camp. In the summer of 2022, Carole worked as a Camper Advocate, quickly falling in love with the camp’s mission and community. When the Executive Director position became available in 2023, she felt a deep calling to lead the organization. With over 40 years of experience working with children, youth, and families in various capacities and ministries, Carole is passionate about creating transformative experiences for young people. Her greatest joy comes from working in the camp setting, where she can guide campers to discover the beauty of nature and connect with their Creator through His Creation. Carole is committed to helping people of all ages explore the outdoors and experience the life-changing impact of spending time in nature. As the mother of eight children, three wonderful sons-in-law, and seven energetic grandchildren, Carole has a wealth of personal experience with family life and understands the importance of providing a safe, enriching environment for young campers. When she’s not at PHOC, Carole enjoys hiking and exploring local parks with her family. She and her husband, David, are also on an adventurous journey to visit and hike all 63 U.S. National Parks.
