Trevor Silver

Maintenance Director

Trevor grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, and later attended College of the Ozarks in Branson, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science. His wife, Charlotte, has a deep connection to Camp Manitoumi, having grown up attending the camp, where her father, John Kealen, served as the former director. It was through this connection that Trevor and Charlotte discovered their shared love for camp ministry.

In 2008, God led Trevor and his family to Camp Manitoumi, where Trevor took on the role of Maintenance Director. Over the years, Trevor has developed a wide range of skills—such as lifeguard training, videography, photography, and more—through his dedication to serving the camp and advancing the gospel. Charlotte oversees our Camp Store and Snack Shack as well as being involved in many other areas.

Trevor and Charlotte were married in 2001 and are blessed with five amazing daughters, two wonderful sons-in-law, and one granddaughter. They feel incredibly privileged to be part of this meaningful ministry.
