Hi! Welcome to my passion project.  I am a first time entrepreneur, long time camp director.  I have a passion for helping people and a love of working with kids. My parents were both teachers in Gwinnett County, so naturally I thought I would be a teacher.  It wasn’t until I saw the impact that camps had on kids, that I knew I had a different calling.

 

I graduated from the University of Georgia in 2011 and in my wanderlust I ended up in California working for a small residential camp called Camp Ocean Pines.  It was here that I learned about social and emotional learning and the importance of kids learning how to work together.  I landed a job teaching high school Biology, but in my summers I returned to the camp that showed me how to impact kids' lives outside of academia. After 3 years of teaching, I was offered a job in California to take over as the director.  I packed up and moved across the country to take the opportunity of a lifetime. I was blessed to have a mentor who helped me learn how to run all aspects of the camp and how to grow a successful business.  I was truly grateful for the opportunity, but after a 3 year stint, I needed to be close to my family and friends in Georgia.

 

Things happen for a reason.  Almost 3 months after I moved back to Georgia, I was blessed with the opportunity to help start a brand new camp in Fayetteville, Georgia created by country star Zac Brown.  I learned to work with kids with neuro diversities and how to make programming accessible for all.  I learned how to work with veterans and their families. I learned about the poor from Atlanta and what they needed in a camp environment. Most importantly I learned how to help kids who come from different backgrounds to connect and be friends with one another.  I have many passions in life but teaching kids how to work together and grow their skills is the most rewarding. 

 

I have had more opportunities to run camps and develop programs, but in the Fall of 2023 I knew that it was time to develop my own program.  I have been blessed with a talent to build kid programs in a camp setting and I hope to use those talents to make a difference in the youth in Atlanta. I’m grateful for the opportunity to start making an impact and I’m excited to see how this company grows over the years.
