1st year on staff

Hey, y’all! My name is Mary Patton Murphy, and I’m a freshman at The University of Mississippi. I’ve never been a camper besides going to camp for a week back home, so I am so excited to immerse myself in the Greystone community this summer! Anyone that has told me about Greystone has said it’s the most enriching, life-giving place full of loving, life-giving people! I’m so excited to meet the staff, counselors, and campers that will be here come summer 2020!:)

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23

Personal Interests? I loveee following the royal family…ask me about the queen! I also love spending time with my own family…I’m the oldest of nine cousins, and I love being the oldest.

When I have an hour of free time, I like to… Journal, write letters, read, watch a movie, or nap :)

Best camp tradition? I can’t wait to find out!

Sing? Dance? Or both? I danced in high school!! But c’mon…freestyle is the best:)

Item that I MUST bring to Camp with me…. My polaroid camera…it prints the cutest mini pictures!

Something you wouldn’t guess about me… I know every word to Bohemian Rhapsody…

Last book I read… To Kill a Mockingbird

Three words to describe yourself: Friendly, Happy, Hardworking

Hidden talent? I can play the violin!

If my life could have a theme song, it would be…. Girls Just Want to Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper

The best thing about camp will be… The people! And the views…
