We are thrilled to have Sallie Ransom as the new Regional Vice President of
Camping Services overseeing Camp Sea Gull, Camp Seafarer and Camp Kanata.
Sallie began her tenure as a Seafarer staff member (Land Staff and Head Counselor
of Camp IV) in the late 1980s. She served as Sea Gull and Seafarer’s Marketing
Director from 1995-2000 and led their annual and capital campaigns from
2006-2014. Since 2014, she has served as the Senior Vice President of Financial
Development at the YMCA of the Triangle with a focus on the Association’s capital
initiatives. A graduate of Auburn University, Sallie worked in the marketing industry
as a senior account executive and spent four years as a media consultant for
overnight camps around the country. Her overnight camping history spans more
than 25 years.

as he was named Chief Operating Officer of the American Camp Association,
a national organization with more than 12,000 individual members and 3,000

Henry’s lifetime of involvement in overnight camping began as a child when his
father was a physician at Camp Sea Gull. Henry started off as a camper at Sea Gull
and grew through the staff ranks, eventually becoming the Program Director and
then Executive Director. He most recently served as the Executive Vice President
of Camping Services for the YMCA of the Triangle. Henry served on the Y-USA
Overnight Camp Cabinet, the Y Global Camping Conference Planning Committee
and the Government Affairs Advisory Committee for Y-USA. In addition, he held a
position on the Board of Directors of the NC Youth Camp Association and served as
Chair of their Legislative Affairs Committee.

Sea Gull’s long-time Personnel Director and recent Sea Gull and Seafarer Director of
Major Gifts, Jon Vance, left Camp back in September to work directly with young
people in the role of Program Coordinator and Case Manager at Green Hill Recovery
in Raleigh. Green Hill’s unique residential sober-living community provides emerging
adults in early recovery with the support they need to continue to pursue their
academic, vocational and life goals.
Jon’s first summer as a camper at Sea Gull was in 1975. He continued as a staff
trainee, Junior Counselor and Senior Counselor through 1983. Upon entering
graduate school in 1988, Jon returned as the Camp IV Head Counselor in 1988 and
1989, and then as Director of Camper Services in 1991. In 1997 Jon was appointed
Personnel Director, and subsequently Associate Director, serving in those roles

GOLD STAR FUND
Fin and Nancy Gaddy with their sons Brown and Charles.
Fin Gaddy, a Camp Sea Gull father and alumnus, learned about a
North Carolina wife and mother who lost her husband in service in
Niger. He thought about his two sons and wondered what it would
be like if they were left without a father. He was moved to action
and wanted to help kids who lost a parent in combat. Partnering
this new passion and his belief in the positive impact of Camp Sea
Gull and Camp Seafarer, Fin and Nancy Gaddy generously created
a fund with the North Carolina Community Foundation called the
Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer Gold Star Children’s Fund.
The fund’s purpose is to financially send kids to Camp who have
lost a parent in combat.
Please reach out to MacKenzie Buice for more information at
MacKenzie.Buice@Seagull-Seafarer.org or (919) 719-9666.
I speak from experience when I say that there is
no better place for children to grieve, grow and
heal from this type of pain than within the realms
of Seafarer’s gates. In 2011, two months after my
father was killed in Afghanistan, my mom dropped
me off for a month of summer camp at Seafarer.
I had the most amazing summer of my life and
returned for many summers. This place changes
lives for the better, and I am so excited that other
children who have lost a parent in service will be
able to begin their healing at this amazing place.
– Katie Palmer, Seafarer alumna
