Patrick Burke
Whether you know him as Pat, Mr. B, Mr. Burke or simply as the guy who brings you Pat’s Place every Wednesday, we know you’ll join us in wishing Environmental Educator Patrick Burke the best of luck as he returns to teaching full time in 2019. Pat started as a camp counselor at The Woods and grew into a full-time educator with an incredible passion and skill for meeting children of all ages and backgrounds right where they are and connecting them to nature. We know his ability to combine humor and education into impactful teachable moments will continue to serve him well in his very own classroom. We hope to see him back as a beloved camp counselor this summer!
