Camp Farnsworth
Leah Tatro
Hello! My name is Leah Tatro, and I’m thrilled to be joining the Camp Farnsworth community as the new Overnight and Program Manager. I bring with me over 15 years of experience in youth development, and I’m deeply passionate about creating safe, empowering, and fun spaces for young people to grow and connect.
My journey began as a volunteer with the American Red Cross Day Camp, and from there I’ve worn many hats in the world of camp and youth services. I’ve worked on the Pine Ridge Reservation during the summer, served as a camp counselor with the Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois, and completed two years of AmeriCorps service—one at Pfeifer Camp in Little Rock, Arkansas, and another providing Girl Scout programming in the Midwest.
After that, I spent three years as the Assistant Director of the Davenport Boys and Girls Club Teen Center, where I helped expand and support programming for teens. Most recently, I’ve worked in the social work field as a Case Manager, continuing my commitment to youth and families. During that time, I also volunteered at a special summer camp for siblings in foster care, helping them reconnect and build cherished memories together.
Outside of work, I love being outdoors, reading, cooking, traveling, and spending time with friends, family, and my two beloved fur babies—Starfire (my dog) and Lotus (my cat).
I’m honored to be part of the Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains and excited to support our campers, staff, and families in creating an unforgettable summer experience.

She went onto become a camp counselor for 4 years before becoming camp director, where she's been for the last 3 years. Koala is looking forward to singing lots of songs and being outdoors. When not at camp, Koala is a Cadette leader in a multi-level troop.
Camp Whispering Pines
Susan “Twinkie” Berry
Twinkie is the camp director for Camp Whispering Pines. She is a lifetime member of Girl Scouts who has led several Girl Scout troops over the years, currently Troop 10364 in Northfield, NH. She was recognized with the Thanks Badge in 2015 and the Adult Appreciation Award in 1996. She’s been a troop product sales coordinator, a community product sales coordinator, and a volunteer support coordinator for the council. She was also named Volunteer of the Month in June 2016.
Berry is a retired English teacher who worked at Tilton Middle School for 28 years. She has long run Camp Whispering Pines and loves being at camp.
“The best part is seeing the girls get excited,” she said. “I love their enthusiasm.”
As a longtime trainer and facilitator, Berry has led the Basic Outdoor Living Skills class dozens of times and spreads her own enthusiasm to everyone.
Her nickname, Twinkie, comes from a mouse character in a children’s book she created many years ago, rather than the popular snack cake.
