Ellie Dawson

Pawleys Island, SC

4 years as a camper

1st year on staff

My name is Ellie Dawson and I’m from Pawleys Island, SC. I am currently a freshman at the University of South Carolina. I played tennis and softball in high school. Camp was my favorite time of year when I was a camper and I am so excited to be a special part of these young girls experience.

Things that I love: My family, my friends, Jesus, animals, sports, the beach, reading, summer, and camp!

When I have an hour of free time, I like to… Read or just relax

Best camp tradition? Closing vespers or Banquet

Item that I MUST bring to Camp with me: My camera

The camp food I can’t wait to eat is… Greystone bread

My favorite dad joke: Do you want to hear a construction joke? Oh sorry, I’m still working on it.

My go-to pump up song: Pumpin Blood by Nonono

Favorite childhood book: Wonder by R.J. Palacio

My lovey (favorite stuffed animal, blanket, etc.) growing up was a…. A small brown pillow

I wanted to work at Junior Camp because… Junior camp is where I found my love for Greystone as a camper and I want to be a part of that for others.

The best thing about camp will be… Connecting with the campers!
