Camp III Junior Counselors




With a new week of camp comes a new set of Junior Counselors. After being spoiled by such an amazing group of junior counselors last week, we were even more lucky to get another awesome group this week. With a total of ten JC's for the two younger camp sessions, we have a large number of outstanding young leaders who are learning about ministering to young people in the Episcopal Church. Many of these JCs are going in to college, meaning that they can apply for staff this next summer - I cannot wait to see the staff for next summer!

Our JCs for this session are..

Andrew Street: Andrew recently graduated from St. George's Independent School in Collierville, TN and is heading in the fall to Birmingham Southern. Andrew is a well rounded man, being both intellectual and athletic, in addition to being comedic. He adds so much to our staff and is especially attentive to the details of camp such as cleaning up after others and noticing the campers who don't always get the attention.


Phil George: Also a graduate of SGIS, Phil is heading to UT-Chatt in the fall. Phil adds a lot to the male counselor staff, including an uncanny impersonation of Robert Goulet (RIP). Not only does he have a very deep stage voice, but Phil also is a warm hearted individual who works well with others.


Neil Maddox: Neil is a rising sophomore at West High School in Knoxville, TN. Neil is the youngest of the JCs for the summer yet displays much maturity. He plays the guitar and has been helping out with music this week. He also gets along well with the campers and provides a great mentoring relationship for many of them.


Grace Woodward: Grace is from Adams, TN although she claims Clarksville as home (they are near each other). Grace is artistically talented and one of the most caring people around - she'll do anything to make sure you're having a good day. She is an extremely hard worker and absolutely is dedicated to camp. We're lucky to have Grace!


Jani Sarratt: Jani is all about CGM - she is a camp girl through and through. Jani will be a freshman at Auburn University in the fall and has been awesome as a JC this week. She plays guitar and has been leading music for us, which we couldn't do without her. She is very talented at guitar and also has so much energy that rubs off on the kids. She is wonderful!
