13 years as a camper
2nd year on staff
Hey, y’all! I’m a rising Senior nursing major at Samford University! I grew up coming to camp and consider it my home away from home! I love all of the friendships I have made at Camp and I can’t wait for even more adventures this summer!
“The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul. He guides me in 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. Your rod and your staff they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Psalm 23
