Emily Purifoy

Nashville, TN

1st year on staff

Hi! My name is Emily and I’m from Nashville, Tennessee. I love all things art related and want to illustrate children’s books after college. My best days are ones spent outside so I’m super excited to spend so much time out in God’s creation at Greystone! I can’t wait to meet everyone; this summer is going to be a blast!

“For you bless the righteous, O Lord; you cover him with favor as with a shield.” Psalm‬ ‭5‬:‭12‬ ‭

Things that I love: Art, riding bikes, ice cream, and early mornings

When I have an hour of free time, I like to… Draw!

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

My lovey (favorite stuffed animal, blanket, etc.) growing up was a…. An owl!

I wanted to work at Junior Camp because… I wanted to invest my time into leading younger followers of Christ!

The best thing about camp will be… The outdoors!
