Cole Patno

Originally from South Burlington, Vermont, Cole attended Providence College where he earned a BS in Computer Science. Cole has been involved with overnight camps for over a decade, working his way up from camper, to CiT, to staff, and now Director! Prior to joining Frost Valley, Cole worked at YMCA Camp Abnaki in North Hero, Vermont for five summers as their Office Manager, and most recently as their Interim Assistant Camp Director.

Cole was drawn to Frost Valley’s strong sense of community and its commitment to teen leadership development. He is passionate about supporting staff growth and creating meaningful camp experiences where teens can build confidence, independence, and lifelong connections. Cole looks forward to helping staff and campers alike fall in love with camp and have a summer they won’t forget!
