Brad Fossen
Facilities Director
Brad Fossen has been the Facilities Director for Pathways since April 2005. Throughout his time here he has seen and helped guide Pathways through many changes. Improving the camps and keeping everyone safe is his number one priority. While many campers enjoy our ropes course, maintenance challenges are his kind of adrenaline rush! He loves having his office be the great outdoors. Some of his hobbies include hunting, fishing, spending time with family, and of course, fixing anything he can get his hands on.
