Emilie Ventura

Beaufort, SC

6th Year on Staff

I first found camp through my college best friend who was a Greystone Girl and talked me into being a counselor. I worked all four summers of college and then lived for a few years in the Dominican Republic, where I met my husband, Manny. We were lucky enough to come back and work a session together during graduate school. Now many years later we have kids of our own and can’t wait to introduce them to camp!
