Meet Our Leadership

Meet Our Leadership

Since the 1940's, Camp Robin Hood has been owned and directed by former campers. We are proud to continue that nearly seventy-five year tradition. With more than 250 combined summers at Camp Robin Hood, our Leadership Team understands the unique responsibility of preserving the Robin Hood experience that shaped us each as individuals, and we are dedicated entirely toward providing that same experience for our campers.

Richard Woodstein

Richard Woodstein - OWNER/DIRECTOR

Richard—known at camp as "Woody"—began his Robin Hood career in 1973 and has had every experience at camp you can imagine! Woody's directorship marks the culmination of a development from camper to counselor then Group Leader to Color War Captain. He even got a chance to meet and learn from current Head Counselor Chuck Illig as a camper in the 1977 Lancer group, truly making the leadership team today deeply connected.

In the 1980's, Woody worked on staff with David Solomon and in 2004 the two became owners of Camp Robin Hood. In 2018, after 15 years as co-director, Woody became the full-time, year-round director of camp. Prior to becoming an owner of camp he spent 5 years wearing his parent hat on Visiting Day, seeing first hand how camp continued to positively impact the lives of his kids and others in the early 2000s. Woody is passionate about providing kids today with the best summer camp experience and giving them unique opportunities disconnected from technology.

Attending and working at Camp Robin Hood has been a family affair for the Woodstein's! In 1974, Woody's brother joined him as a camper. Woody's sons, David and Aaron, each spent 12 summers at camp, first as campers then staff members. His daughter Sarah also spent 10 years as a camper followed by time as a group leader and color war captain.

David Solomon

David Solomon - OWNER

David—known at camp as "Sol"—came to Camp Robin Hood in 1969. He inherited his love of camp from his father and uncle who attended Robin Hood in the 1950's. Like Woody, Sol spent many summers at Robin Hood during his youth first as a camper to a counselor, becoming a Color War Captain, and then as Program Director which culminated in ownership of Camp Robin Hood in 2004 along with Woody. Every summer you can find Sol out on the fields during Green & White cheering on each camper to do their best!

The Solomon family history is deeply connected to their love of camp! Sol's two brothers also attended camp with him as kids and more recently his two daughters, Carrie and Katie, attended as campers. Following in their father's footsteps - Carrie won ‘The Big Cup' and Katie went on to become a staff member and Color War Captain.

Chuck Illig

Chuck Illig - HEAD COUNSELOR

Chuck came to camp in 1965 and never left. Over 50 years later he is a living, breathing history of all things Robin Hood. After thirty-seven years as an educator, Chuck retired from teaching and moved up to New Hampshire year round—only twenty minutes away from camp. His love for Camp Robin Hood is an inspiration and guide for our leadership team, our campers, and our staff. The summer at Camp Robin Hood doesn't start until Chuck himself personally welcomes our campers on opening day.
