10 years as a camper

1st year on staff

Hi y’all! I am SO excited to be a junior camp counselor this summer! I am a long time Greystone girl, and this will be my first summer not as a camper since I was 7. I will be teaching rifelry this summer, which was one of my fav classes at camp. I will be a freshman at the University of Georgia in the fall and plan on majoring in Biology and minoring in Mathematics. When I’m not studying, I like to hang with friends, shop, workout, and play with my dogs! I can’t wait for the best summer ever!

“Cast all your anxiety on Him, because he cares for you.” This has been my favorite verse for as long as I can remember and it always helps to keep my grounded if I get overwhelmed!” 1 Peter 5:7

Things that I love: God, friends, shopping, my dogs, UGA, football, diet coke, pink, math

When I have an hour of free time, I like to… Tan by my pool

Best camp tradition? Main Camp Play! (I was Ms Trunchbull this past summer)

Item that I MUST bring to Camp with me: My Fan! I cannot live without it

The one thing that makes any day better: My dogs Lucy and Moose

The camp food I can’t wait to eat is… Circle Pizza or Cheesy Chicken

My favorite dad joke: Why isn’t a koala a bear? It didn’t have the proper Koalafications!

My go-to pump up song: Non-Stop from Hamilton

Favorite childhood book: Percy Jackson

My lovey (favorite stuffed animal, blanket, etc.) growing up was a…. Bunny

I wanted to work at Junior Camp because… Because I love Greystone so much and have dreamed of being a counselor!

The best thing about camp will be… Getting to share my love of God and camp with all the campers!
