“I played hockey professionally for ten years in the States and Switzerland. Living in Montreal, everything revolved around sports growing up, especially hockey. When I came back to Montreal, I began working for my family business and spending my summers at Pripstein’s sleep away camp teaching hockey. Sadly, Pripstein’s was closing, but I felt this was my time to take over and make it a sleep away camp primarily revolving around sports, but with other fun activities too. I actually went to Pripstein’s as a camper. I have a lot of family history there, dating back to my parents and grandparents. I think there is real opportunity to have kids in the community come back to camp and have an amazing time. Whether the kids want to get better at sports, arts and crafts, dance, or meet new people; we want to make sure they will receive that. We want to know that they’re going to go home and feel like they have achieved something, on top of just having an amazing time.”
