Garrett Colgan-Snyder, candidate for Civic Committee

I am the father of August & Huxley, two boys always playing on the Arden Green and offering to walk your dog. I am so happy to be able to give this community to them as a gift for growing up which they richly deserve.

Arden is the first place I lived and it is now where my wife and I have decided to raise our sons. My family has been in Arden in the same house (and others too) since the Village’s founding and are committed to this unique and wonderful community.

Professionally, my wife and I own and run an overnight summer camp for kids in New Hampshire.  This allows us the wonderful flexibility to work from home and be involved in the lives of our kids and community.

My interest in the Civic Committee comes from my love for this beautiful and wonderful village. I want to help to ensure its physical care and smooth operation.

My skills come from 1) years experience as a small business owner. The camp for kids that my wife and I run in New Hampshire is on 152 acres and has more than 30 buildings. Many of the things I manage in my role with camp relate to similar community needs shared by the village.

I am lucky enough to have the fun of maintaining roads, water system, trash collection, sports fields and activity buildings, open spaces and forest management.

In addition, my 14 years experience as a Board Member for the New Hampshire Camp Directors Association has provided the skills needed for positive and inclusive committee work and shared victories.
