In 1957 he was invited to become the minister of the Presbyterian Church in Holly, Michigan. While there he directed many summer camps for the Synod of Michigan and started "Wilderness Camping" for Senior Highs, leading trail hikes on Isle Royal and canoe trips on the Tahquamenon River in upper Michigan.
In 1966, the Chicago Presbytery invited him to be on their professional staff as part of their Christian Education Department as well as Director of their camp in Saugatuck, MI. The camp was a three season camp until the 1970's when Glen Graham of Shorewood raised money to build five winterized cabins and Bill directed winter weekend groups as well as groups in spring, summer and fall.
In 1913, the Methodists sold the camp to the Presbyterians. Bill had the longest record in the camp's history as Director - from 1966 until his retirement in 1990.
Bill died at his son, Mark's home in Port Orford, OR on May 2, 2014. Presbyterian Camp was a place that Bill could use his many talents - a "dream job" for him. He loved the concept of using all available resources to accomplish a task and cherished helping people to value the natural world.
