The unveiling of our 2010 Camp Staff...

In the coming weeks, we will be unveiling our 2010 Camp Staff in no particular order. Today's post is the first of many. I would like to introduce you to our 2010 Intern Chaplain, Gracie Killman.

Gracie Killman joins us as our intern chaplain after being a camper and counselor of Camp Gailor Maxon. Gracie is graduating from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill this May and entering graduate school in the fall to study religion. Currently she has been accepted to one program and is waiting to hear back from others so as soon as we know where she will be going in the fall, we'll update you!

The intern chaplain's responsibility is to lead all things worship and spiritual related at camp. Gracie has been working on our chapel program - theme to be announced soon. She will organize prayer times, plan our evening prayer service at All Saint's Chapel in Sewanee and our closing Eucharist, and will be a spiritual mentor for the camp. She will work very closely with the priests and visiting youth ministers that will be with us on the mountain.

Gracie is from Nashville, TN, graduated from University School of Nashville (USN), and attended St. George's, Nashville. She now calls Chapel of the Cross in Chapel Hill, NC home as she leads their Episcopal Campus Ministry program and works with their youth. Grace's major at UNC-Chapel Hill is Religious Studies, but she also has a flair for the dramatics and has an excellent background in theatre and dance.

Gracie is a left-handed vegetarian with a close relationship with both of her parents and her sister. She loves giraffes and e.e. cummings, hates her handwriting, and wishes on stars. Gracie is dedicated to the Camp Gailor Maxon community and has the following to say about her excitement about serving as our intern chaplain:

"I'm looking forward to another great summer on the mountain, re-connecting with old friends and making news ones. I'm also thrilled to be able to give back to a camp that has given me so much

But, I am most excited about out theme- getting to dive into our treasured traditions and bringing that alive for ourselves on and off the mountain."

Ladies and Gentlemen, we give you our intern chaplain, Gracie Killman.
