5 years as a camper

1st year on staff

My name is Kaelyn Pinkley and I am currently a freshman at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville! I worked at junior camp last year, and I can’t wait to work the whole summer this year. I love camp with my whole heart and I can’t wait to share that love with all the campers and my fellow staff members this summer!
