Dave Carlson

Denver, Colorado
Rafting Master

Dave has been with Anderson Camps for what seems like forever. From his humble beginnings as a lowly counselor (one of his campers was Christopher Porter, the current Director) Dave has stuck out the years and heads the camps rafting program. Dave also helps keep order among the boys on the Hill, and he keeps the rafts afloat. During the non-camping season, Dave teaches science to seventh-graders in suburban Denver, where he earns many accolades, including Teacher of the Year.
