I grew up in Knoxville and moved to Nashville after college and went to grad school there. Now I live south of Nashville in Franklin with my husband, Mac, 3 kids, 2 dogs and a rabbit. I came to camp for the first time with my oldest daughter the summer after she finished Kindergarten. She’s a freshmen/Main Camper/working in the kitchen, and I’m still here. The rest of my family followed and we love it! If we could, we would live here year round. I’m excited to come to camp because it will be the BEST SUMMER EVER! It never fails to be!
