Kim “Ruddy” Petau, Sky High Ranch Director
With the re-introduction of Resident Camp for summer 2015 at Sky High Ranch, we are excited to share about Kim “Ruddy” Petau, Sky High Ranch’s new camp director!
Kim has been a Girl Scout for over 25 years, most of her time has been spent at camp! She grew up in the Pacific Northwest at a camp called St. Albans where she learned boating, horseback riding, swimming and hiking. After spending her years a camper and then a WIT (Wrangler In Training), she graduated high school and joined the camp staff. She started as a unit counselor and then on to Riding Director, Outdoor Program Specialist, and eventually troop camp Director.
After meeting her husband in Antarctica while doing research for graduate school, and moving to Colorado, she spent seven years as the Statewide Day Camp director with Girl Scouts of Colorado, coordinating both Volunteer and Staffed programs. She also developed program for many of our amazing properties including Meadow Mountain Ranch, Hamp Hut, and Twisted Pine. Last year she and her husband welcomed their first child to their family.
She is excited to start new adventures at Sky High Ranch, and hopes that campers ages Brownie through Ambassador will join her! To contact Kim with questions about camp programs at Sky High Ranch, you can email her at kim.petau@gscolorado.org.
