I'm Anne Fonde Potter
Technical Product Manager & Digital Marketing Specialist with a Passion for Big Ideas
Anne is the proud mom of three grown kids. The idea of the Camps Rock website was born out of her annual and frequently frustrating quest to find the right summer camps for them. She remains deeply involved in the planning and development of the Camps Rock summer camp directory, but in her new role on the board of directors for the Camps Rock Foundation, Anne is turning her focus toward creating innovative ways to help more deserving children experience the magic of summer camp.
With a career background in computer software development, product design, and management, Anne’s true passion lies in bringing great ideas to life. She loves diving into the user experience, discovering ways to enhance products, and translating customer needs into clear, actionable technical solutions.
After more than a decade of leading the Camps Rock summer camp directory, Anne is excited to channel her experience and enthusiasm into the foundation – to help more kids discover and share the joy of summer camp, especially those who might not otherwise get the chance to go.

Embracing a Purposeful Life: Growing, Giving, and Celebrating Success.
Stay constantly in motion, welcoming growth and the occasional discomfort that accompanies it. Commit to lifelong learning through reading, reflection, and engaging with thought-provoking people. Offer support generously, practicing compassion and actively looking for ways to make a positive impact. Cultivate balance through regular physical activity, mindfulness, and meaningful time with loved ones. Aim for excellence in all your endeavors, ensuring that you continually grow, improve, and reach higher levels of mastery.
Beyond personal growth, share your knowledge and experiences by teaching and mentoring others. Support those facing difficulties by offering your time, energy, and expertise with generosity and compassion. Foster a mindset that takes joy in the success of others, celebrating their achievements as if they were your own. Through this approach, you create a meaningful and fulfilling life—one that’s not only centered on your own development but also on uplifting and empowering those around you.
How it all started...
I’m a mom of three kids, and my husband and I both work full time. Back when our kids were little, we decided to give summer camps a try for our summertime daycare needs. It quickly became a nightmare to find what we needed and fill up the whole summer (eleven weeks!) with camps for three kids, of different ages, with different interests. I would spend HOURS trying to find camps for each child. One evening, sitting at the kitchen table surrounded by flyers, a notepad, and my computer, I said to my husband, “There should be an app for this”. And shortly thereafter was the birth of Camps Rock …
