RICH MOSS

Director

Rich Moss’s Lenox story began as a 10-year-old camper, the summer his father, Monty “Coach” Moss, bought Camp Lenox in 1964. Over the years, he did what so many campers dream of doing. He grew up at Lenox, worked his way through every role, and earned the respect of campers and staff along the way.


Rich started as a Junior Counselor, became a Counselor, then a Group Leader, and eventually Program Director. He knows camp from the inside out because he has lived every part of it, from the bunk to the big moments.


Outside of Lenox, Rich played college basketball as a walk-on at the University of Vermont and earned degrees in Education and Psychology. In 1983, he officially joined his father as co-director, and together they led Lenox into a new era.


Today, Rich runs camp year-round alongside his wife, Stephanie. During the summer, he’s deeply involved in daily operations, supporting staff, meeting with parents, and making sure Lenox stays true to what it is. In the off-season, he recruits campers and staff, introducing new families to Lenox and sharing his vision for the kind of camp experience that lasts.

Rich’s personality is woven into Lenox. He’s proactive, funny, and keeps things light, while his calm, steady leadership keeps camp running smoothly and earns the respect of both campers and staff. He also personally schedules tournaments and competitive opportunities throughout the summer, drawing on his deep knowledge of campers and what motivates them most.

MONTY
COACH MOSS

In Loving Memory

Monty Moss, affectionately and universally known as “Coach,” was one of the most important figures in the history of Camp Lenox and a cherished member of our community.

Coach grew up during the Great Depression and served honorably in the Marines during World War II. Those experiences shaped the values he carried for the rest of his life: resilience, duty, character, and a deep belief in doing the right thing.

In 1964, Coach purchased Camp Lenox, a camp that began in 1918. At the time, he was a physical education teacher and high school coach in Great Neck, Long Island. He came to Lenox with a vision, and he helped shape what modern Lenox would become.

Coach pioneered the concept of specialty sports programming in the Northeast, an idea that spread widely and became a cornerstone of many camps. In 2006, the American Camping Association honored him with the “Legends in Camping” lifetime achievement award, recognizing his influence on camp culture far beyond Lenox.

But what people remember most isn’t just what Coach built. It’s how he made camp feel. Even as he approached his 100th birthday, Coach remained a vibrant, active presence at camp. He was known for grabbing the microphone, telling stories, teaching new campers old songs from his childhood, and sharing values that mattered to him.

Stephanie and Rich Moss speaking to camp at an evening gathering

One of the moments generations of Lenox campers remember goes like this:

“What is one thing no one can take away from you?” Coach would ask.

And the whole camp would shout back:
“YOUR GOOD NAME!”

It’s a simple line, but it captures something timeless about what Coach stood for and what Lenox has always been about: building strong kids with strong character, who feel proud of who they are.




Coach’s passing marked the end of an era, but his spirit remains everywhere at Lenox, in the traditions, the values, and the community he helped shape for more than 50 years.

Their leadership is consistent, hands-on, and deeply connected to the camp community that families entrust with their children each summer.
