Volunteer Profile
In 2006, Christopher Shockey became the Britt nighttime groundskeeper after departing a corporate job. He "needed to recharge what was left of his soul." He fell in love with Britt and signed up to volunteer in 2007, bringing two of his three sons—Kelton, and Jakob—with him. His third son Dmitri joined the family on the Hill in 2010.

Christopher laughs that Britt and a few meals now and then are the only time the Shockey family was together all summer!

Being a volunteer is definitely a state of mind and lifestyle choice.
It can be something that we do for a couple of hours once a week or
several times a month, or it can be a one-time thing. It is something

something that everyone can do. Most people would say that they just
don’t have time, but I would argue that it is more of a matter of how
you choose to spend your time.
