I use my undergrad degree in child development and my Masters in Education as a family coach outside the bubble! I love my summers at Greystone! The community, the fun, the spiritual growth I experience every summer keep me coming back. I can’t wait for another summer in my favorite place!

“See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.” 1 John 3:1

Come find me if… You need encouragement

I wanted to work at Greystone because… It is a glimpse of what true Christian community should be like- worshipping, eating, serving and living together to the same end

The best thing about camp will be… The people
