New Samish Island Campground Manager

​The board of directors is happy to announce that a new Samish Island Campground manager has been selected.  Chris and his wife Kate are already dealing with the issues of closing the campground for the season as well as moving into the house.  Here is a brief bio:

My name is Chris Steinel and I am the new Samish Island campground manager. I'm married to Kate Steinel (Anderson) and we have two amazing daughters, Julie and Anna, ages 10 and 7 respectively. Kate and I met at Graceland and were married upon graduation in Anchorage Alaska. I graduated Graceland with a B.S. in Microbiology with minors in Chemistry and Religion. After a decade working as an industrial chemist I went back to school to obtain an M.A. in Special Education. I have worked with, and passionately enjoyed teaching, emotionally disturbed elementary age students for the past three years. We have also owned and operated a small business. We are all thrilled to be here in Washington and look forward to sharing our hospitality with each and every camper we meet in the coming years.
