Wayne Dengate
Board Member - San Luis Obispo
An oven stops working. The water supply is interrupted. A solar electric generation plant needs to be designed and installed. Who're you gonna call? Wayne Dengate. Wayne has been installing water and electrical systems and fixing broken things at Camp Natoma for decades. And decades. He began his volunteer service to the (then) Camp Fire Girls camp in 1961. A true life Natoma love story, he met his future wife, Roberta, while working as a maintenance man at camp. Together, they raised 4 children in San Luis Obispo. Today, Wayne enjoys 3 grandchildren as well. He served our country in the Air Force as an aircraft maintenance Sergeant, and had a productive 34 year career with Western Electric, AT&T, and Lucent Technologies. Wayne would like to see more young families of current Camp Natoma campers get involved with the maintenance and development of the camp in the off-season.
