Meet our Staff
Jon Walker
Executive Director
In his youth, Jon Walker fell in love with Christian camping while attending camp at Quaker Hill and went on to serve as a counselor any chance he could. In the early 90’s Jon and his incredible wife Sara found themselves serving fulltime on the Oregon Coast at Quaker Hill’s sister camp where they spent the next decade. With nearly 30 years of Christian camping under his belt Jon is still passionate about creating a safe and healthy environment where guests and campers can connect with God, fellowship with others and remove the distractions of everyday life. When he is not at camp you can find him outdoors – hiking, fishing, paddle boarding, or on coffee dates with his wife!
Mariah Nay
Guest Services
Born and raised on a farm in Oregon, Mariah Nay quickly fell in love with the outdoors. After pursing her degree from George Fox University, she was led to McCall where she spent a summer on Quaker Hill’s summer staff. Upon her decision to stay in Idaho, she met the love of her life and received the biggest blessing they could ask for – their daughter! Mariah is passionate about connecting guests and campers to God’s beauty! When she’s not at camp you can find her hiking in the woods, paddle boarding, or skiing the slopes with her friends and family!
Lindsay Hickman
Program Director
Lindsay joined staff in 2018 and originally hails from Washington State. She has a degree from George Fox University and has spent over a decade in Christian Camping. She is passionate about raising up the next generation of Jesus followers through camp and summer staff programs. When she’s not at camp you can find her on the water with her husband and baby boy, or tasting the latest roast at a local coffee shop.
Reid Fitch
Facilities Director
With a long family legacy of attendance at Quaker Hill, Reid finds joy in advancing the rich history of campers that have made the decision to follow Christ. Serving as camp’s “handy man,” Reid is passionate about creating a space for future generations to connect with God. When he is not running around fixing things or surprising the staff with new improvements, you can find him with his family enjoying what each season in McCall has to offer!
Phil Kaufman
Food Services Director
30+ years of restaurant and culinary work. Owned/Operated a chain of successful restaurants on the west coast and Las Vegas. I was introduced to Christian Camping when my restaurants cooked pizzas for the coastal Friend's Camp (Twin Rocks Friends Camp). What I am most passionate, as well as intrigued by, is the myriad of paths our staff at Quaker Hill has the opportunity to experience from the guest groups making use of our facility. Christianity is a relationship that expands and deepens with time. How lucky I am to be a part of the people in various stages of that journey. The community of McCall is ever changing and the camp tends to be a peaceful, protective haven to experience that community. Providing quality food to campers is my way of giving back what the camp and staff has given me.
Heather Hinz
Camp Store / Housekeeping
After two years of service on summer staff, Heather joined Quaker Hill full time in 2019. Heather has served in various ministries such as Cathedral Pines in Sun Valley and Snow Mountain Ranch in Colorado. Her passion is to show campers and guests the love of God through small day to day acts of service. When she’s not serving as our “Jack of all Trades,” you can find her cozied up with a good book or wandering around the remarkable beauty that surrounds McCall.
