Introducing the 2009 Village Directors
Posted by Sharon
If you haven’t checked your calenders recently, campers will be coming in 12 1/2 weeks. It will be here soon! We would like to take this opportunity to introduce the 2009 Village Directors so you know who is going to be leading you this summer!
My name is Lizzy Peterson and this summer I will be the Chippewa Village Director. I am from Charlotte, NC but I go to Denison University, which is a small college in Granville, Ohio. I am currently a freshman at Denison and as of now, my major is undeclared, but I am looking heavily into Psychology and Educational Studies. This upcoming summer will be my ninth summer at Crestridge; I spent 7 summers as a camper and 1 year on staff. Crestridge has meant so much to me over the past years, both as a camper and as a staffer. I am so excited to see what God has in store this summer. Even more, I am eager to meet all of the girls in, and out of, my village. Every girl that comes through the gates of Crestridge is unique in her own sense. I am most looking forward to watching these girls grow in Christ. I cannot wait to meet everyone in just a few months!
My name is Catherine Green and I will be the Chickasaw Village Director. I am a sophomore Biology major at the University of Montevallo in Alabama. This summer will be my 5th summer at camp, my 3rd on staff. I am most looking forward to building relationships and loving on the campers. One of the best things about Camp Crestridge is the awesome relationships that you make with your campers and the other staff because you are with them for at least 2 weeks! God is gonna do some amazing things this summer, get ready!!!!
Hello my name is Kelly Lipscomb and will be the Cheyenne Village Director. I just completed my freshman year at the University of North Florida, go Ospreys! I am currently undecided in my major and keeping my options open. This summer will be my eighth year at Camp Crestridge. I am looking forward to spending the summer with new and returning campers. I can’t wait to worship and praise the Lord through all the activities we do at camp. I am excited to sit around the campfire and sing along with the campers. My prayer is that the campers grow spiritually, kindle new friendships, and experience the love that Christ has for each and every one of us.
My name is Sarah Knowles and I will be the Choctaw Village Director. I am a junior at the University of Florida (Go Gators!). I am majoring in Elementary Education and hope to teach 2nd or 3rd grade. This is my 12th year at camp. Crestridge has been a huge part of my life and can’t imagine how my life would be different had I not attended Crestridge! I absolutely love working with kids. I have always loved working with younger kids (which led me to be an elementary education major) but this past summer, as a Choctaw counselor, I learned that I LOVE working with this age group! Choctaws taught me so much, and I had so much fun laughing, loving and learning with them. I am so excited to spend another summer with these girls who love to have fun!
My name is Caroline Knowles and I am so excited and blessed to be back at Crestridge this summer serving as the Cherokee Village Director! This will be my 12th summer I’ve spent at camp, my third year on staff. I am really looking forward to challenging these girls and digging deep, going beyond the superficial level. As a camper I built some great, long lasting relationships with my own counselors and village directors and treasured those. I am looking forward to doing that again with these girls this year. I am finishing up my Junior year at the University of Florida, majoring in Elementary Education and hoping to teach early elementary grades in the future. Looking forward to a great summer and seeing what great things God has in store for each of us!
We are so excited for you all to be here this summer!

Who will be the Chickasaw Village Director?
The Chickasaw VD will be Catherine Green. We had some trouble making it show up on Internet Explorer but it should be good now. Sorry about that!
When will we know our cabin leaders?
Unfortunately you won’t find out until you come to camp. But that is part of the excitement of Opening Day!!
What about our cabin couselors!!??
Hi Kelly! My name is Caroline and I’m going to be a cheyenne this year. I can’t wait until camp there is so many new things this year, new skills, new cabins! I’m am gonna be in the last session which means i have to wait almost the WHOLE summer before Crestiridge. I’m counting down the days!
this may seem like a dumb question, but will the choctaw cabin leader be one of our activity leaders, or counsulors?? GO GATORS!
Hey Sarah! This is my first summer at camp, and I can’t wait!!! I’m going the first session, which means there is just 2 months!!! I’m so looking forward to meeting you, and creating a lot of fun memories! Go gators!
Hey Caroline,
I am so excited you are going to be a Cheyenne this summer! I can’t wait to meet you on opening day. This summer is going to be AMAZING! Oh and I have been counting down the days ever since I left camp last summer. I am so excited to see all the blessings God will give us at camp this summer….see you soon!
Hey girls! I am so excited to meet all of you and hang out with you this summer! Coming from a teacher (to be) NO question is a dumb question! 🙂 So let’s see if I can answer your question. There will be 2 and sometimes 3 counselors that stay in each cabin with you. These counselors also teach skills in the morning, and depending on what skills you choose, and what skills your counselors teach, you may or may not be in one of their skills. I will be the Choctaw Village Director..so I basically plan your afternoon village activities. You will be doing these activities along with your counselors and me. Does this answer your question?
For those of you who are new, GET EXCITED! Camp is a blast! We can’t wait to meet you!!!
P.S. I love the support for the GATORS!
dont worry sarah, i will ALWAYS support the gators!!!!! 🙂 im sooooo looking forward to meeting you!!!!!
