“I had the privilege to work and learn from Glenn Klein during my initial nine years at Camp Menominee in Eagle River, Wisconsin. Eventually, he and his wife Dawn provided me with the opportunity of a lifetime. I was able to purchase my boyhood residential summer camp from them in 1997. This gave me many new perspectives about our camp and Glenn. If it were not for Glenn (and then Dawn), this wonderful institution would have closed, In my opinion, Glenn is the second most important person in the nearly 100 year history of Menominee, second only to our founder, the legendary Nate Wasserman. That is my opinion. However, what Glenn did for our camp is indisputable. Additional, after going to American Camping Association conventions for 17 years, I can say camp directors from around the country would routinely ask about Glenn and tell me how innovative and great he was at his career. After having the honor to carry the torch for 17 years, and sharing the journey with my wife Bari, I could not agree more whole-heartedly with the directors from around the country. I learned from the best. Now you have the same chance. Take it! Glenn focuses on communication, transparency, flexibility, ethics and integrity. Those traits have served me well and the thousands of others who attended camp. Many people I know from our camp days continue to display these traits in their lives and businesses. Because of it, they are successful. This is certainly partly due to what they learned in the Northwoods at CM. I know Glenn has found ways to transfer this knowledge into a life coaching practice. He has a wealth of experience. If you are looking for direction and personal and professional success, you found the right guy!”
