12 years as a camper

4th year on staff

Hey pals I’m Abby and I go to the University of the South. I’m a senior art history and English major with a passion for long walks and DMCs in nature. I’m so pumped to be back at camp, not just for the food, but because I get to hang out with all the amazing campers and staff that make camp so special. My goal for this summer is to do 5 jumping jacks on a paddle board: stay tuned.
