As a life long summer resident of Peters Pond and permanent full time resident of Sandwich I am excited to be alongside Nancy Horn as the founders of this group. It gives me great pride to represent a leadership role in the "Friends of Peters Pond" Advocacy Group Board of Directors with our very important mission of Pond Health. Christine J.

My husband and I started camping on Peters Pond in 1976 when the now Oakcrest area was owned by HP. We used to canoe around Peters Pond with our kids and thought how lucky the people living on Peters Pond were. After HP sold the campsite to Sandwich we moved on to Peters Pond Campground. The last day of our vacation in June 2007 we were told about a house for sale on Peters Pond. The rest is history and we have been on the pond ever since . Now our grandson is also enjoying it !

Peters Pond is part of my heart and soul. I have been camping on Peters Pond since marrying my wife and then bringing our children. We have many pictures of our kids swimming in Peters Pond. Now we have pictures of our grandson swimming in the crystal clear water of Peters Pond. My hope is that many generations more will be able to have the same family fun as we did.
VP: John Baudreau
I'm a lifelong Massachusetts resident and have been coming to the Cape since I was a toddler. I moved to Snake Pond in 2018 and, understanding that there the water is all connected, joined FOPP to help keep our freshwater treasures healthy. I have various experience in project management and environmental sciences, and look to help educate and advocate for our freshwater ponds.
