General Manager

Hi my name is JoAnn Treiber and God placed me in the wrong class at Baker College and found me this wonderful magazine. With a factory background and a new marketing degree I jumped in with both feet. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoy bringing it to you.

Jenifer Witt

Writer Extraordinaire

I'm Jenifer Witt, lifelong northern Michigan resident. To fund my wanderlust, I'm a high school English and Social Studies teacher.  I'm a traveler, poet, writer, photographer, and novice quilter. I love being outdoors: hiking, biking, kayaking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, exploring, and walking my dogs, Pip and Sancho.

Don Harris

Writer Extraordinaire

I'm a retired engineer with an art background (Industrial Design) and an interest in writing. I seem to have found my niche at the Northern Camper as a nature writer, which suits me fine. Every month or so, I research a couple of Michigan species -- one plant and one animal. Then, along with my research, I try to bring my experiences as a homeowner, traveler, and observer into play to give my writing a personal slant. Sometimes this is a challenge, like writing a story on earthworms (interesting creatures, though not a lot of personality), but every time I write one of these articles, I learn things. I hope you do, too!

Master of the Web

It's been great reconnecting with my dear friend Kathy.  Absense really does make the heart grow fonder!  I enjoy volunteer work and spending time with my family, friends, and my service dog Flurry.
