Camp Staff: Andie Scott

Meet Andie:

Our next staff intro is Andie Scott. Andie is a second year staffer who just graduated from Ithaca College (hence the picture above). Andie is from Nashville and is currently interviewing and applying for programs and graduate schools to continue her successful training for her future. Andie is known for being kind-hearted, dedicated, and a giver. Another thing Andie is known for is her abilities as a contortionist - she was in the circus at her school!

Camp Staff: Alex Hoelscher

Meet Alex:

Meet Alex. This is his third year on staff and he is the force behind our amazing camp promotional video. It makes sense that the video is awesome because Alex is a Media Arts Major at Montana, studying Digital Video Production. Alex is from Murfreesboro, TN originally but makes the trek across the greater US for school bi-annually. Along the way, he likes to take photographs - another talent of his is photography. Alex is well known for his maturity, dry sense of humor, and dedication to Camp Gailor-Maxon.

Camp Staff: Hans Bauer

Meet Hans Bauer, the third staff member we're introducing in this countdown to camp. Hans is from Memphis and attends the University of Tennessee, Knoxville where he is a member of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, studies Geography, and hangs out with his cat, Sadie. Hans takes pride in his German heritage and is ruggedly outdoorsy. He loves the sport of Lacrosse and also boasts that he was into the Memphis Grizzlies before they were big. Hans will be leading outdoor recreation this summer. 

Camp Staff: Jillian Smith

The next staff member to get her intro is the one and only Jillian Smith. Jillian is serving her second year on camp staff. She hails from Smyrna, TN and is a rising junior at University of Evansville in Evansville, Indiana. She is a history major and spent this last semester abroad in England (with all sorts of fun travels over Europe during the course of the semester). Jillian is one of our lifeguards for the summer and also serves on the music team. 

Camp Staff: Phil George

Today, we start the first of our staff introductions. We'll be unveiling the staff here on the blog with bios. First off:

Meet Phil. Philip George is a Germantown native, congregant at St. George's Episcopal Church in Germantown, and attends the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga. There he is a rising junior studying Environmental Engineering. Phil is eco-conscious and avoids high fructose corn syrup. He enjoys a good frisbee and has an uncanny vocal similarity to Robert Goulet. On a hot day, you might find him eating pistachio ice cream.
