Hi, y’all!! My name is Lauren and I’m a sophomore at the University of Georgia. Go Dawgs!!!! I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to come back to Greystone this summer as a counselor and look forward to meeting so many new faces! Camp is such an amazing and uplifting environment and I’m most excited for all of the unique traditions that make this place so special. It’s going to be an awesome summer, and I am counting down the days until I can run around with all of you campers!!!!
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He restores my soul. He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me;”
Personal Interests: I love to run, surf, and do pretty much anything outdoors. I enjoy spending quality time with my friends, family, and dogs (of course). While I’m at school I love to attend UGA football games, go to concerts, or just relax with a good book or TV show.
When I have an hour of free time, I like to… Go on a long run or hang with friends!
